</div></div>Then I did understand the priority scheme correctly, and the priority scheme is broken.<br>
By setting all SD versions of channels at a priority of -10, there should have been no circumstances where an SD channel was<br>
chosen over an HD channel since all of the SD versions were on tuners with equivalent HD versions.<br>
<br>
I have worked around this bug by disabling the SD versions. I don't like this workaround though, because when Comcast plays<br>
musical channels again it will be hard to notice that the hidden channels have changed since they are hidden.<br>
