were genuinely pleased with
the blind scan results.
Let’s turn to another very
important aspect now. After
all, the blind scan option is

can only prove its worth in
everyday use for watching
television.

for the time-shift directory
which is normally created
automatically at the time a
hard disk is formatted by the
AZBox miniMe’s AZtrino firm-
