It seems to "just work". I have several wishlists (movie directors, etc.) that occasionally find HBO movies. If it only tapes it from HBO2, I checked and saw that it never aired on normal HBO. If it did, then it will prefer the HBO-HD version, every time.


I believe when a wishlist finds two competing programs it chooses the one on the lower numbered channel. In the case of HBO it causes it to always prefer the HD channel but I don't think it has any built in preference.

But there is an HDTV choice in the Audio & Video category you can use to narrow your wishlist. It's the screen that comes up after you enter your title/keyword/actor/director.
