Leave the lineup type as OTA - if you say that the lineup is digital 
cable then MythTV will think it can record lots of stuff that it really 
can't.  What I've done is to use the channel editor.

Go to Watch TV.  Change cards using "Y" until you know that you're using 
the HDHR.

Once you've tuned in a channel, press CTRL-E to bring up the channel 
editor.  What you want to do is to have MythTV think that this channel 
is identical to one of your other channels (either in the digital or 
basic cable lineup), so change the channel name and callsign (and 
channel number if you don't want to enter a 7.2 for example)

Pretty sure that bjm is going to chime in at this point and point you at 
chapter 12 of the HOWTO.
