SageTV firewire setup

[jrillaffj]

I need help trying to get SageTV to capture from my Motorola 6412 STB, I've gone through almost all the steps to capture from the firewire port, I just need to have SageTV recognize it all. I've been messing around with the sage.properties file but no luck as of yet, here's my a copy of properties file. Please help!!!!

A couple questions:

1) Have you been following one of the sets of directions from the firewire thread (like the one here)? The reason I ask is because it doesn't look like you've added anything to your sage.properties file to set up firewire recording.

2) Do you know firewire recording is going to work for you? Have you gotten it to work in VLC and graphedit successfully?
