[mythtv-users] mythTV w/ firewire

[Robert J. Adams]

Isaac,

Hello. I've been using myth for a little over a year now and wanted to 
say thanks to everyone that has contributed! The system is superb in 
every way.

Recently I upgraded to HD DirecTV and would like to get this working 
with myth. I found a mod at www.169time.com that will enable a 
firewire/1394 port out the back of my dtv receiver. It appears linux 
supports video over firewire, but it doesn't look like myth has support. 
Since the FCC now requires cable to offer a firewire port I think you'll 
see a lot of people going the route in the near future.

What would be needed to get this working? I'm willing to provide access 
to hardware if anyone has  time to look into it. I'll buy all the 
beer/pizza needed. ;)
