Are the HD channels using the same channel numbers as your SD channels? 
If its the same, your input priorities maybe forcing myth to use the SD 
input. I set the priority of my HD channels higher than the SD. That way 
anything that can be recorded in HD will be and everything else gets SD.

In my case I have different numbers assigned to the channels. My cable 
provider uses different channel numbers for the SD and HD versions of a 
channel so thats how I configured my system. Again, the HD channels are 
a higher priority so I normally use the "record from any channel" and 
"new episodes only" options when creating a recording schedule. Which 
gives me HD when available.

Also check with the channel editor in mythtv-setup to make sure your 
channels are visible and set up the way you expect.
