Yes, I took a fresh svn cut, rebuilt it on a separate 
machine to test.  I can now scan the HDR but the channels 
I'm getting are completely different each time I scan and 
seem incomplete in general

Works in Windows with vlc -- the config worked as well. 
 Are there any special config parameters I need to be 
looking at?  I found little to no information on that 
side.

I wasn't using the quick tune but yes to everything else.

I'm not so concerned about this so long as I can get 
channels.

SD doesn't seem to add any channels in either for my 
source.  I'm not entirely certain why!
