I'm always grateful for your advice; I'll pursue this avenue further. I've already found the first broken link, but that one should be easy enough to resolve. I'll let you know if I get a good backend build for my PPC.</div><div><br></div><div>On 2011-09-19, at 5:26 PM, Paul Raison wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; ">Have you tested the firewire on the sourceforge builds?

The firewire source doesn't lock … Myth won't even change channels on the firewire box. Everything works fine on the version I'm currently using, Mythbackend-release-0-23-fixes-PowerPC-20100807_Rev.25586 from the Snyderpad. I was hoping I was just unlucky, and that there were other releases that worked, hence my original post.</div><div><br></div><div>I truly appreciate the help available on this list to slackers like me that want the easy solutions.</div></body></html>
