[mythtv] New ieee1394 code and DCT-6200

[Tom Harding]

Todd --

I see similar behavior.  My suspicion was (is) that the cable box is 
being choosy about when to make a signal available.  For example, I 
think it doesn't output anything if it's recording anything itself on 
either of its two tuners.

To verify this, I am looking for another device to use for snooping the 
firewire bus when the Myth box is getting nothing.  I would be happy to 
learn that this is actually caused by bugs in the Myth stack somewhere.
