IIRC, there's an option somewhere in the GUI to give HD recordings a priority 
boost. You could give your SD tuner a higher priority (say, by +1) but 
compensate by giving HD recordings a higher priority (by +1 or perhaps even 
+2). I don't recall exactly where I saw these options, but I'm pretty sure 
they were accessible from the frontend configuration screen (that is, they 
aren't part of mythtv-setup, where input priorities are set). I've not 
experimented with this method of doing this, but it sounds like they may be 
the way for you to go.
