Was just thinking about this some more and thought that it would nice
if the transcoded file showed up in the recordings screen.  The
example situation I am thinking of is multiple frontends not all of
which can do HD.

Seems like this is possible using myth.rebuilddatabase.pl and could
also just add something to the subtitle or somewhere to indicate an SD

Just thinking out loud really.
