In Washington State with Comcast and with Cableone in New Mexico this has been reproduceable for me everytime. DCT6200, DCT3120? I think that was the model, DCT6416. When recording I get random recording. Sometimes it will record sometimes it will not. I cannot get bcast to work I can get p2p to work however. In order to get p2p to work I must do the following, plugctl -n 1 oPCR[0].n_p2p_connections=1[[BR]] test-mpeg2 -r 1 > /root/foo.mpg[[BR]] check see if file has any data if not [[BR]] plugctl -n 1 oPCR[0].n_p2p_connections=0[[BR]] plugctl -n 1 oPCR[0].n_p2p_connections=1[[BR]] test-mpeg2 -r 1 > /root/foo.mpg[[BR]] rinse/repeat till it shows data in the file once I do I leave p2p set to =1 and I can record flawlessly all the time. However if I do not do this it will have a random chance to record. The following script is attached of what I wrote that allowed me to let it work till .20 and I am able to use it again now. This will give a idea of what is going on as well. " defect closed minor unknown mythtv head high invalid 0
