So, for the filter to work, you need different listings for the two
channels: For the HD channel with the <video><HD> tag's where
appropriate and without the tags for the SD channel.

It would be nice if you could tag a channel as HD or SD and that
mythfilldatabase would ignore the HD tags for an SD channel! I'm now
thinking of a way to handle this in my grabber.
