When I say it looks like it is choosing the right channel it is because of
this row in the backend row:
May 13 22:00:00 tvpc mythbackend: mythbackend[21392]: I Scheduler
scheduler.cpp:2689 (HandleRecordingStatusChange) Tuning recording: "Grey's
Anatomy":"Time Stops": channel 3257 on cardid 20, sourceid 2

And when looking in the database:
|    3257 | 5       |        |        2 | Kanal 5  | Kanal 5 HD |
hd.kanal5.se.png  |

That's why my confusion.

Your other explenation helped me understand that myth expects the channels
to be exact match in every sense including broadcast quality. So I my case
it is actually two separate channels even if I mentally don't see it that
way. =)

details for the show on the HDTV channel when I select the show in Upcoming
Recordings," but that has nothing to do with what the scheduler is going to
do--it's just showing you the program details, not the "scheduled
recording" details.

sign.  If you use mythbackend --printsched it shows the channel number, the
call sign, the source, the card, and the input.  But none of those will
tell you which of the 2 "identical for the purposes of Live TV and
scheduling" (due to identical channel numbers and identical call signs,
respectively) channels will be used to record it (at least in your
one-input system).
