Comment(by simonwalls at yahoo.com):

 Thanks. Once I find out how many watts it saves, there may be no need for
 this patch (ie. it's not economically worthwhile).

 You are right about scanning not for a fixed time, but until all
 transponders are scanned - this is what I meant above .... but I was
 unable to achieve that. I found the scope of 'activeScanChannels' meant I
 couldn't find out its size from within TVRec. Then the size could be used
 in the Duration calculation.

 If this patch is justified based on power saving - I'll report back on
 that one - then maybe a better programmer can get it to scan until all
 muxes/transponders are scanned. Obviously, only if everything is right,
 could this patch be adopted.
