I do have two video sources, one marked "CABLE" (for the STB) and one marked "HDHR." I will let mythfilldatabase load the HD channels and then edit the channels to be invisible. Hopefully the status of the "CABLE" version of these channels won't effect the "HDHR" version. In the meantime, I found that recordings can have a preferred input set. Thanks STefan
