They're not simulcast; each SD/HD channel has its own programming so 
some episodes show up earlier on one than the other but there doesn't 
seem to be any pattern to it (these are not sequential programs; they're 
episodes of Nature and Nova and such).  And since some shows only come 
on the SD channel, I can't disable it.

How do I do that?  I have not found any advanced menu or filter menu....

Same Q as above - I have not found any filters or advanced menu....

My corner case really needs a rule that says:

Record at any time and on any channel, but only re-record if it is in SD 
and the re-broadcast is in HD.

Thanks for the help.
