OK, so for 621 though, it looks like the raw data doesn't have a
duplicate "621" for FSPHD in your headend.

So that would be the first thing to try to fix.

Some users have told me that if you've configured your STB for "HD
only" then you don't need to send the "-1" to change to the HD version
of the channel. Is that how that works?
