That is correct, but may be moot. I had the problem with anything past 
12618 not working right, so I reverted to 12618, did the channel scan, 
fixed all the lineups, and I am now running current SVN with the latest 
HDHR firmware, with quicktune enabled, and I am not experiencing any 
problems. I have not tried a channel scan with current SVN, so I can't 
comment on whether or not that works.
