Howdy Mike,

I live in north Texas and use Time Warner cable, so I don't fully
appreciate how much of a chore channel rescanning is (sounds quite
bad, especially considering the frequency that some users seem to have
to do it).  But why not upgrade to 0.22 at the end of the month
(before rescanning) and put up with any instabilities in 0.22 for a
while?  Then at least you only have to do it once!

Regards,
