[mythtv-users] Having two xmltv sources for the one card input

Hi all,

I've been running Myth happily for over a year now - I love it and
never watch live TV anymore.

I have a question about channel sources and inputs though. Here in
Australia, our Cable provider provides not only the cable channels,
but a retransmition of the FTA channels as well. Their program guide
doesn't include those channels though. I get those from another
source.

Is there a way to have two 'sources' for the one card input?

Eg :

ABC is available through DVB-T on Channel 2 (card 1, digital input),
and Foxtel through channel 102 (card 2 composite input). FOX8 is only
available on Foxtel channel 108 (card 2 composite input).

One XMLTV source gives me the Foxtel guide, which I've currently
linked to card 2 composite but it doesn't give the guide for the ABC
channel.

The other XMLTV source gives me ABC, but nothing else. I've connected
that to Card 2 at the moment.

I'd like to be able to merge the two so if my FTA tuner is being used,
the program is recorded using the Foxtel feed instead. Is this
possible?

David.
