Because if you want to watch a show, you shouldn't care which channel you record it from. If you're using "this channel" rules, it's almost definitely as a hack rather than specifying what you really want.<br>
<br>
If you want only the new episodes, use a new episode filter or teach MythTV which old episodes you've seen (by marking them as Never Record).<br>
<br>
If you want only HDTV episodes, use an HDTV filter.<br>
<br>
(and so on).<br>
<br>
If you never want to record off the SDTV version of a channel for which you also have the HDTV version, why even configure the SDTV channel?<br>

Often, the HD channel versions are in HD, but aren't listed as such. I don't want to record the versions on the known-SD-only channel, but I also don't want to not ever watch that channel. What is the recommended way to record from both the HD channels in this scenario?</div>
