What I did is that I just deleted all the SD channels that have an HD
equivalent.  I'm not aware of any cases where different content was
actually being displayed on these channels, and it was simpler to just
delete the one I didn't want.  It's fewer entries in the table, fewer
listings to pull down, and it's not even possible for it to record on
the SD channel any longer so I never end up with an accidental SD
recording.
