For what its worth, I use the DCT-6200 and Firewire reliably.
However, I can't give you my system specifics, since my root
partition of my HD crashed yesterday, and I can't boot the system.
However, it took a while to get it to work right, and each system
reboot (which thankfully wasn't often) required a manual process.
I was using the firewire port built-in to the Foxconn motherboard.
(1) Run plugreport: . Each time I rebooted, the DCT would show up
either in node 0 or node 1 (often changing per reboot). So, for
each reboot, I would have to re-run mythtvsetup and change the
DCT-6200 node if it had changed. There seemed to be no rhyme or
reason as to why it keeps changing nodes on reboots.
(2) Get test-mpeg2 to work: On each reboot, I would need to run
"test-mpeg2 -r [NODE#]" mutiple times (This step is KEY!!) until I
get some output. You'll know when you get output, its basically a
stream of binary junk to stdout. If you don't see output after 1
second, press ctrl-c and try again. With 10 tries, you'll get it
to work.
(3) Now start mythbackend, and it should work "reliably" until the
next reboot.
Hope this is helpful. Once I rebuilt my machine with a new HD,
I'll be happy to answer specific config questions...

Yes, I do all of these things as well. However, it doesn't work
reliably for me even after these steps. Thanks Todd
