[Brian Vita] I don't think that it works that way. I'm pretty sure that you
either get an HD signal or not. If you can get HD, you'll get HD-1, HD-2
and HD-3 in the same data stream. If the HD signal is wonky, you'll get
none of the above. Keep in mind that the ability to send the -2 and -3
streams, doesn't mean that they're actually in use.
