[mythtv-users] Reliability of HDTV flag in Schedules Direct listings

[Eric Sharkey]

Is anyone else noticing that a lot of programming available in HD is
not marked as such in the Schedules Direct listing?  When this
happens, mythtv tends to record the program on a standard def channel.
 This happened again for me today.  I'd scheduled it to record the
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which is definitely available in HD,
but Schedules direct doesn't think so.  Manual intervention on my part
was required to switch the selected channel.  Is there anything that
can be done about this?  It seems to be happening a lot.
