In this context, we are not talking about SD versus HD - we're talking about analog versus digital. You should have no trouble switching between SD ATSC channels and HD ATSC channels (since the hardware literally cannot tell the difference). However, it's not *too* surprising to find issues going back and forth between analog and digital. Are you sure you put both the analog and digtial video sources into the same recording group? If not, it's possible that MythTV will attempt to use both the analog and digtial parts of the card at the same time, which is not permitted by the hardware. Devin -- Devin J.
