| 133 | | You must setup standard definition (SD) channels for the HD channels to be populated. The HD channels are only populated with known HD programs. The idea is to have both SD and HD, and increase the priorty of HD channels, so programs record as HD when available. Some stations do upscaling from SD to HD; you could record the HD version but the SD version is at least half the size for the same detail. Also some stations run a program of sceniary in a loop; if you recorded their HD channel you would miss your program. If you want all programs populated on the HD channel, use the SD xmlids for the HD channels. If any programs are missing from the HD channels and are known to be HD, please let us known on our mail list. |

| | 135 | It is now possible to obtain fully populated HD channels with the known HD programs flagged as HD. This is the default for new installs. To enable on old installs, go to your shepherd install and execute: |
| | 136 | {{{ |
| | 137 | rm .shepherd/postprocessors/flag_aus_hdtv/flag_aus_hdtv.config |
| | 138 | }}} |

| | 141 | Originally the HD channels were only populated with known HD programs. The idea is to have both SD and HD, and increase the priority of HD channels, so programs record as HD when available. To change to this behaviour use these commands: |
| | 142 | {{{ |
| | 143 | cd ~/.shepherd/postprocessors/flag_aus_hdtv |
| | 144 | ln -s ../../references/Shepherd |
| | 145 | ./flag_aus_hdtv --set=action:copy |
| | 146 | rm Shepherd |
| | 147 | }}} |

| | 151 | Another way to obtain fully populated HD channels, is use the SD xmlids for the HD channels and remove your HD channels from shepherd. |

| | 156 | === How do I uses the new high definition (HD) channels? === |
| | 157 | |
| | 158 | To use the HD flag, MythTV requires the setting of priorities. In mythfrontend transverse the menus Utilities/Setup -> Setup-> TV Settings ->Recording Priorities -> Set Recording, and set HDTV Recording Priority = 2. I also recommend enabling the Reschedule Higher Priorities option. Then transverse Next -> Finish -> Channel Priorities, and select each of your HD channels and press left arrow, to decrease to -1. Cancel exits. This should tell MythTV to record flagged HD programs on a HD channel and non-flagged HD programs on a SD channel. |
