I only ever had a single (dual-tuner) HDHR,
so that's all that this script waits for.
But it could be modified easily to scan for more
than one -- if you need that functionality,
just reply here and I'll dig out the HDHR (retired)
and update the script.

That one is slightly different than the one I used to use here;
my full version also forced the 5-second firmware downloads
for HVR-950Q tuners while it was waiting for the HDHR,
so as to speed up overall start-up even more. :)
