Re: Mixing SD and HD

I’d be happy to elaborate. I am curious if anyone has comments on how HD recordings worked on the SD set, or comments on their experiences in general of using both. A few quick searches did not really pick up much on the subject.
It looks like Calgary has a pair of HD OTA channels, and a slightly used LCD TV has showed up at our house, so it is time to upgrade the SD BTV setup that has been running stable for a while. I have a few options for setting up our new TV, and am weighing the options.
As part of that I was trying to figure out if I could specify a show to record a show like House on HD sources, but still allow the scheduler the flexibly of choosing which HD source to use if the system also had SD sources present.
I think I have two options, 1 mixed source HD SD server upstairs with 1 link downstairs, or 2 servers, 1 SD 1 HD. I think there are pros and cons to both, but there are a few random pieces of info I am missing trying to make the final choice.
