Weird. My HR20-100 gives me my D* locals in SD and HD using duplicate numbers. My OTA HDs are then listed in the 2-1, 2-2, etc. format. I weeded out the non-HD channels and the unwanted OTA HD subs using Favorites.
Up till now I've been watching my locals through an HTPC using MYHD because I felt the picture and sound were better. Just for kicks, I hooked the OTA line into the HR-20, reset, and setup for Satellite and OTA. I noticed a couple of things that I didn't expect. The national local affiliates (CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX) were replaced in the channel guide by the OTAs and seemed to function properly. The strictly local stuff (KTLA, KCAL, PBS, etc) did not display in HD when HD content was being broadcast. I'm savvy enough to know that MYHD was not stretching an SD broadcast. Am I doing something wrong? The other thing was that ota locals seem to override their satellite equivalents and I was not able to access the satellite versions.

You need to setup your Favorites and weed out the unwanted channels. Then, set your default guide as Favorites.
I do think that if you select the channel directly you may get the SD channel. Appears to be a software bug.
Not a software bug, you need to go to the -1 to get the HD channel OTA, unless you have a HR20-700 which will remove the SD channel on it's own when set up that way.
If your not on the - number it's not HD for OTA. (or .1 depending on the set up).

Sorry, I've lost track if this feature is in the national release yet or not, but to get to it, menu, help & settings, setup, display, it's the 4th option down.Where is this Menu option. I may not be able to see the forest because there are too many trees in the way.
I think it is CE as I kinda remember reading about it there. I know I can't find it.
If you DL CE do you lose everything?

Rad,
That feature is still in the CE stages , btw, I love it
I too am waiting for the "NR" for the -100, it makes all the HD channels much easier to access.
I have not seen a CE for the HR20-100 that has that feature in it yet, that said, I haven't seen a CE in awhile for the H20-100 either.
