<br></blockquote></div><br><br>I actually don't remember for sure why I did that. I think the reason might have been at attempt at optimizing power/heat. As you say, when you set the channel to zero, it still says it is tuned, and if I recall correctly, it still reports a signal lock and a list of programs, correct? So I think I must have figured that if it's doing all that, then it must be doing some work to monitor the signal, parse the MPEG-TS packets, etc. Setting the frequency to zero would turn it off completely, potentially saving power and generating less heat. Never did any kind of testing, so I have no idea if the savings are significant or negligible.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Curious...what does ceton's demo apps do when you are done watching? Do they leave it tuned to a frequency, or do they zero it out too? Also, can you reproduce this problem via manually changing settings in the web interface?</div>

<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">But I'm glad to know that, with that one change, everything works just fine. It confirms our suspicions that it would all be compatible. Now I wonder if it's a bug in the firmware, or a defect in your particular unit. And thanks for following through on this. I've been dying to know if it works, but my 4-tuner model has been working great and serving all of our needs, so I can't justify upgrading just to satisfy my curiosity.</div>
