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.
