I didn’t either. Seems like a no-brainer configuration.

On the other hand, if I recall right, there’s a reverse problem with Verizon’s Home Media DVR service. As in, it’s possible to cause problems by accidentally choosing the HD version of a channel rather than the SD version. If you set the main box to record the HD version of a channel (which can happen *by accident* if you ask the box to find your show for you), then the rest of the set-tops in the house can’t access the recording at all.

Luckily Verizon has recently started supporting whole-home HD.
