<div>I run from source but I'm able to record with 100% reliability
over firewire. It probably should be noted that I only use the
old analog channels (below 100) and not any of the digital channels.</div>

<div>You shouldn't need all of that but its working so I haven't done
any house cleaning. I do remember that I had to change my node ID
manually when I first started using MythTV with firewire, but that
seems to have been fixed.

Perhaps the ATrpms, are missing some updates that improve FireWire performance?!<br>
