Well, my master backend (the one with the firewire port) has

There is however no mention (on this screen) of the word Firewire or 1934 or
6200

Initially (using the 6200ch in contrib) I received the following:
node 1: vendor_id = 0x11d8 model_id = 0x
Could not find Motorola DCT-6200 on the 1394 bus.

I read some docs ... attempted to hack it and add my id's
a tweak on the output and:
node 1: vendor_id = 0x11d8 model_id = 0x
Warning: Your Unit Spec ID (0x005e) is unexpected.

AV/C Command: 007 = Op1=0x00487C20 Op2=0x00487C20 Op3=0x00487C27
then the channel change fails.

My box is brand new (just picked it up last week) and clearly the CTL_CMD0
(Op1,2&3)
is not a signal that my box is happy with.

Any way to find out if this 6200's ID's are listed/supported by the current
implementation?

Is MythTV getting the TV signal from a firewire input or from S-vid?  If 
its s-vid, I dont think you can use the firewire connection to change 
the channels for that input.  As I understand it (which very possibly 
could be wrong) you can only change the channel thru firewire if the TV 
Signal comming to your MythTV box is thru firewire.  Reading the 
response from Ian, he says "In mythtv-setup, when you setup a *firewire 
input*, you should see the option for internal firewire channel changing 
in the same place that you normally see it for capture cards - in "Input 
Connections", leave the "External Channel Changing Program" field 
blank..." he says to set up a FireWire INPUT, not s-vid.

There is however no mention (on this screen) of the word Firewire or 1934 or
6200

Initially (using the 6200ch in contrib) I received the following:
 node 1: vendor_id = 0x11d8 model_id = 0x
 Could not find Motorola DCT-6200 on the 1394 bus.

I read some docs ... attempted to hack it and add my id's
a tweak on the output and:
 node 1: vendor_id = 0x11d8 model_id = 0x
 Warning: Your Unit Spec ID (0x005e) is unexpected.
 Warning: Your Unit Software Version (0x0001) is unexpected.
 AV/C Command: 007 = Op1=0x00487C20 Op2=0x00487C20 Op3=0x00487C27
then the channel change fails.

My box is brand new (just picked it up last week) and clearly the CTL_CMD0
(Op1,2&3)
is not a signal that my box is happy with.

Any way to find out if this 6200's ID's are listed/supported by the current
implementation?

I compiled 0.18.1 ... no problems

but ...

Where/How do I turn it on? I think I've exhausted mythtv-setup/mythfrontend
setup, did I miss it?

 I saw that but I couldn't find any "how to configure" section in the docs,
nor on the net.
digging around I stumbled across the 6200ch with plenty of documentation,
figured it was worth a try.

I did figure out the file not found issue:
I was missing the /dev/raw1394 node

It turns out my 6200 is brand new (from comcast, just picked it up last
week)  and not supported by the 6200ch in contrib
after hacking it a bit to add my vendor_id & model_id, I think I found::
vendor_id = 0x11d8
model_id  = 0x
spec_id =  0x005e
software version = 0x0001

If the code in 0.18.1 is the same/similar I'd expect a similar problem?


Thanks

You don't need 6200ch anymore.  Myth has support for internal firewire
channel-changing for the 6200 boxes.  I was going to point you to the
official docs, but it turns out that the docs haven't been updated.

On the other hand, looking at the main page http://www.mythtv.org/ one
can find the following as the featureset in 0.18.1:

"Internal channel-change over firewire support for DCT-6200 series cable
boxes - no external program required like before."

Sooo...
