I had everything setup perfectly, until DirecTV decided to go and add the last HD Local for Austin. I had a network waiver for Fox and ABC, but now that both are broadcast via sat, they sent me a letter stating they are going to cut off my NYC feeds in September.

The issue I have is that SOME of my series links are set to record on the SD Locals, and some are set to record from the NYC HD channels. And I don't know for sure which are which. To complicate matters, they are all set for first run only, and being re-run season I have an entire Prioritizer full of "None Scheduled".

So my current situation is that I don't know which channel each show is set to record on, and thus don't know which ones I need to change. I can't setup new series links since some of the shows aren't even airing repeats right now, leaving the only option to just wait until the shows show up again in the Guide, and hopefully catching each one in time to get the season premier.

Does anyone have a better solution? Am I missing some secret option DirecTV really should have included for times like this?

Unfortunately, that might be your only option. What you can hope for is that the shows you are waiting for are airing repeats. If that is the case, you might be able to select the show from the Prioritizer and then select Episodes. That will list all upcoming episodes. When you then select an episode, it will list the channel the show is being recorded from. However, if there are no upcoming episodes at all, you are out of luck.

Set up new SL's for each show title only with the HD filter set and set them for both. Then during the transition you may get duplicate recordings, but it is nicer to delete more then to miss more. After you get a feel for what is available, until the transformation is over, then you can make hard settings for the new SL's and delete the old ones.
