[mythtv-users] Multiple lineups with one cable box

Here is my situation:
2 - Analog capture cards in use with analog cable
1 - Analog capture card not in use
1 - HD Cable box connected via firewire

The problem is that I can't get all my channels over firewire (HBO,
NickToons, etc).  What I want to do is connect the HD Cable box to the
Analog card via composite or svideo and record over firewire if
possible, and over composite if not.

The two problems I see are this:

1. How do I tell myth that if it is recording over the analog source
connected to the cable box that it means the firewire connection
should be considered in use?

2. Zap2It doesn't allow multiple line ups with the same source meaning
I can't create one line up for Comcast Digital that contains all the
channels I can get and a second Comcast Digital lineup that contains
only the channels that come over firewire?

Any idea are welcome.  I know one solution would be to get a 2nd cable
box, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
