[mythtv-users] No input from firewire capture from DCT-6200

Hi,
 I just hooked up my MythTV box to do firewire capture in addition to
capturing from my PVR350. I have the Motorola DCT-6200 digital cable box
from my cable company and have it hooked into an Adaptec FireConnect card. I
followed Jarod's guide for getting it working and everything seemed like it
was working fine until I tried to view the input from within MythTV. I
didn't encounter any errors in the setup process and all my output matched
what he indicated in his guide (Though my firewire node is 2 and not 1, like
in his example). Also, I can successfully capture HD channels with
test-mpeg2 and playback with mplayer. I setup the firewire capture in
mythtvsetup as broadcast instead of peer-to-peer. That's the one thing I was
somewhat uncertain about, but from what I've read online it seems that's the
right thing to do. When I enter into MythTV and watch live TV, when I hit
'Y' to change inputs, I get a blank screen for a second and then it drops
back to my default tuner for the PVR350. Are there any steps that anyone can
tell that I've missed?
 Thanks,
 Azmat
