Great article. This did the trick for me. I'm also on SureWest and using Gentoo. For my setup, I had already been using a serial IR Blaster over LIRC to change channels while using a PVR-150 to record over the SVID cable. So for now, I am still using the IR Blaster to change channels, have unplugged the PVR-150. In my settings I did not clone the MAC address. This allows me to switch over to the Amino box without messing with cables in case we want to use Video-On-Demand or listen to music channels.

The life saver for me are the IGMP settings under "/proc" I'd been searching for days on various multicast problems because I could see the packets with tcpdump, but no program would play or save the streams.

[Nate: Aug 8, 2008] In reply to Rkuris: Dhcp on eth2 is getting set as 69.x.x.x, but it doesn't seem to matter. This is all I have set for that interface: config_eth2=( "dhcp" ) dhcpcd_eth2="-G -R" routes_eth2=( "224.0.0.0/4" )


Thanks for your feedback! Glad to see it's working for you. I couldn't get it to work unless I spoofed the MAC address. It kept assigning me 65.x.x.x addresses and wouldn't connect.
