This would probably work, too. [See below.]

What I've done is:

	- Set up recording profiles to "enable auto-transcode".

	- In recording schedules, configure the desired schedules for
	  auto-transcode (or not) depending on what is desired.

[These instructions are for SVN; I don't know if this is in 0.18.x.]

I am using an HD-3000 for HDTV, and do the above to transcode most
things to save space, and not transcode others for where I really care
about getting the "HDTV experience".
