OK, you're correct of course.

Sometimes I do not read the entire thread, but with bottom-posting I  
should be able to get the gist of it from an intermediate post.

As we all know there are a *lot* of messages on this list. If I see  
one that I that already has several responses I'll sometimes skip to  
the latest response to see if the matter has been solved.

In this case it looked to me as if it hadn't been. "tuner 4" is an  
indication that the tuner type has not been properly identified, and  
it looked like the OP was trying to set it to type 2.

Incorrect as it turned out, my fault for not checking back to the  
original post.

Nick's response is correct, I can recall at one point having a "tuner  
7" on a 3 tuner system, strange things can happen when we try and  
avoid deleting everything :-)

Sorry about that.
