So: GB->Yorks->Scan Where either GB, or GB+Yorks would give you an appropriate scan, with GB taking longer. A full frequency scan would be harsh, as we have (top of my head) 50 channels in the UK, with a potential of 3 sub channels at say 5 seconds per channel. Gives 50*3*5 = 750 seconds. I wish I knew how STB's really did this kind of stuff. I suspect that because it's propriety hardware they can do more stuff. or maybe we just need a better mechanism for detecting lack of lock in the scan case. -- John
