Unfortunately, my P2P connections are definitely not working correctly.
I tried your advice and connected the firewire cable into the other node
on the DCT box, but I still get nothing over broadcast, and the same
problems with P2P. There's a little history with my cable box. The
DCT-6412 is a DVR, which I don't need if I'm going to be using myth.
They gave it to me in error. So, I'll be bringing it back and getting a
straight 6200 and seeing if that works any better.
Thanks for your help!

if not, p2p is fine.
the type of connection matters not, my box uses p2p without issue. I'm waiting
for a compatible firewire card arrive in the mail from newegg before I hook
it up to MythTV, but when testing with my laptop's built-in firewire I got
100% channel changes correct and no record issues with test-mpeg. I wrote a
script that would change the channel +1 run test-mpeg and if data was
received write the channel and "ok" in a text file. This was so I could
quickly figure out what channels were 5C'd for me, through the whole script I
didn't run into a channel change error. I then played around with it (in awe
that it actually worked of course) and again had no issues. all through p2p.
