I don't think the hardware itself would have a problem tuning the
stations. The question basically boils down to, does the EPG take
into account information other than just the major/minor? If it
does, then I think it would work ok, but if it doesn't then probably
the only thing I'll end up with is the station that ends up
scanned for last.
