When running "./test-mpeg2 -r 1 > testing.ts" it captures 0 bytes UNLESS it is on an actual HD chanel. Does this mean I can only capture HD channels over firewire? Or is this utility only useful in testing HD capture? Thanks, Dave ---------------------------------------------------------------- Are Your Friends Lemmings? -- http://www.lemmingshirts.com _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users Well, Try hitting control-c and then trying it again and again and see if you get input from the other channels. The DCT-6200s seem to go one or two ways....some of them have to use "Broadcast" connections which seems to mean that test-mpeg2 only works every 4th or 5th time. I'm in the bay area as well and I'm getting 2-80 and 702-722. -Todd
