[mythtv-users] directv.pl channel_sd_hd issues

[les]

that dosent really work with using the usb port.. example 356 msnbc does 
not display as an HD channel but if you order HD it will.
the problem is more about talking to the usb port on the h21.. the 
remote works fine..
the screen only displays 356 as sd..
so thanks for the thought but been there tried that.
