Record in HD Where Available

[aindik]

I would like to create a wishlist that records a program having keywords. I would like it to record the show in HD if available, and, if not, to record it in SD from an SD channel. I thought the Series 3/TiVoHDs had this, but it doesn't look like they do.

For example: Two wishlists: baseball games and King of Queens reruns.

I want to record Mets games. My wife likes King of Queens reruns. Both are aired on the local CW affiliate and on TBS (for Mets games, occasionally, but frequently enough). I want the Mets games to record from the HD channel (unless the HD channel is not carrying the game in HD, in which case, I want to use the SD channel), and the King of Queens reruns (which are not ever in HD, and which, on TBS, are horribly stretched out), from the SD channels. I would like to be able to tell my TiVo this, but don't see a way to do it.

Season passes are channel specific, so you could set up a couple passes to record Mets games. I do this for Nascar. Wishlists are not channel specific.

I do this by setting up 2 wishlists, identical except one is for HD only, and the other doesn't care if HD or not. Then I prioritize the HD only wishlist above the other in Season Pass manager.

Me, too. The downside is I get multiple folders for the same show in Now Playing.

When the game is on, aren't I going to have one tuner record the game in HD and the other record it in SD, with some lower-priority Season Pass possibly not getting recorded?
