[mythtv-users] Firewire stability/reliability DCT6200

[Mark Hutchinson]

When you hit that encrypted channel, are you able to change channel to 
another one and have it working again?
When this happens to mine, it seems to lock things up.  Meaning I cant 
change to another channel, and a test-mpeg2 results in no data either.  
That is why I was wondering if it was something firewire related. 
I do have it set to broadcast and 400 for speed.

What does broadcast and P2P mean?  I am not familiar with it.

Thanks!
