[mythtv-users] Analog channel scanning fixed on trunk

[Paul Archer]

Thanks very much for the info, Marc. I'm posting this to the mythtv mailing 
list, since it's good information, and of general interest.

One more quick question: I know there are bugs being fixed in 0.23-trunk, 
but is it relatively stable right now? I'd like to go ahead and upgrade if 
the WAF isn't too bad.
