Re: [tvcontrol-api] Channel scanning

Keep in mind that "scanning" may mean something totally different in 
the Radio world.  Usually is an action that the user performs on the 
radio and gives a sample of each station (for about 5 secs) until the 
user decides to stop on the channel.  (just mentioning in case there 
is confusion down the line with an actual RADIO SCAN function.

The scan function that you guys are speaking of would be the only way 
for a radio tuner to discover HD channels that are available in the 
area.  Of course in the scenario when we are talking about automobiles
 the scanning periodic interval may need to increase based on the 
vehicle moving in an out of range of different stations.
I would agree that a web app would probably care more about (1).
