Oh, and in addition to mentioning Daniel's creating a new branch
specifically to improve channel scanning, I should have also mentioned
that Jarod Wilson spent days going through 0.20-fixes code and the
changes in SVN trunk to fix channel scanning for 0.20.1. And, IIRC,
channel scanning for the HDHomeRun was one specific area he concentrated
on/tested/fixed.
So, my recommendation is to make sure you're running a current enough
version of 0.20-fixes. (Jarod can probably provide a lot more info for
your.)
