The only way I know of is cancelling the series and then re-programming the series manager with the HD version. Doesn't take too long.

 

And I am excited all my girly shows will now be showing in HD :)

re-programming dvr

Anyone know if there's an easy way to re-program the DVR to drop the standard def channels and move automatically to the HD ones?  Between those channels I got like 8 shows programmed in, and I would have to start over from scratch to start recording the HD versions, I think.
