20.4.6 Bug: SD show scheduled when HD is available

I record Jeopardy, partly because I play team trivia locally. Tonight my OTA-only 4-tuner Roamio is planning to record an SD showing at 4:30pm on 3-2 instead of the correct HD showing at 7:30pm on 15-1. The (converted) OnePass says "Channel: All" and "Get in HD: If possible". I thought maybe the scheduler could be failing to resolve a situation where too many things were potential candidates for recording at 7:30 even though most would drop out, but that isn't the case; viewing the To Do List with "show (all)" tells me that Jeopardy is the only show that even might have been recorded in that time slot, and no conflicts are listed in history. I can see no valid reason for defaulting to the earlier SD showing. FWIW, my 2-tuner Premiere had scheduled the 7:30 HD showing, but I removed it days ago because I don't (or shouldn't) need to record the show on both units.



Upon further study, I've decided that this is how the scheduler is probably going wrong: Jeopardy normally airs on 3-1 and 15-1 on weekdays, but on Saturday 3 moves it to 3-2 to show something else on 3-1. (I need 3 in my lineup because sometimes 15 preempts Jeopardy without even moving it to a subchannel.) Once the scheduler sees Jeopardy on 3, it evidently fixates on that channel, not bothering to check for HD showings on other channels. Even if TiVo won't let me prefer 15 because of reception quality, this is still an obvious bug. The OnePass is failing to handle all the showings as one pool. The old scheduler handled this situation properly for years. We definitely have lost functionality.
