[mythtv-users] Custom Priority for "Low Quality"

After getting my HDHR Prime, my house has gone full blown MythTV, chunking
the cable boxes and loving the freedom.  What they don't realize is that we
are slowly squeezing my little 500 GB drive to death.  I'm trying to be a
bit of a space miser until disk prices drop some.  I'm part way through
getting some transcoding solutions in place.  In the meantime, and probably
even after, I'd like to get a custom priority to "prefer" recordings marked
as "Low Quality" record off of the SD channel instead.  A perfect example
of this is cartoons. Since I've set a general rule for HDTV Priority, I'm
getting all of my and my wife's shows just like I want them.  But, I'd just
assume Loony Tunes, Phineas and Ferb, and other recordings record off the
SD channel.  I'd like to set up a priority for recordingprofiles.name of
'Low Quality' to give priority to channels (or programs) that are NOT HDTV.
 I'm slowly working my way through the schema trying to fix it, but if
someone can put it together that either has already done it, or for whom it
is trivial, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
James
