Or (assuming the broadcast content is identical--other than 
format/resolution) give the channels the same callsign to work around 
the bug that causes MythTV to record the same show 2x if it airs at 
exactly the same time on 2 different channels with different callsigns.

(Or, track down the bug that causes it to record...)
