Two years ago I had the same issue with an HD channel and SD subchannel.  I
opened a ticket with schedules direct and at that time but Tribune could not
override shows on the sub channel.  In July 2009 Robert at schedules direct
got back to me and said that Tribune was now able to override shows on SD
only channels.  My station had already dropped the SD sub channel by that
point so I didn't get to see if it would work.

I know this doesn't help the original poster but if any schedules direct
users find this thread  know that schedules direct should now be able to
have Tribune fix your source data.
