[mythtv-users] Listings from multiple xmltv sources?

I'm certain there used to be a page on the wiki detailing how to merge 
two different xmltv sources. It was written by someone on the norwiegan 
border who could also pick up swedish tv. He included a script to make 
things work transparently with mythfilldatabase. Of course now when I 
need it I can't find it anywhere >:-(

I'm planning to add a motorised satellite system as a source - it has 
channels from the UK, France, Germany Austria and Belgium on it. I can 
only see a way to use *one* xmltv grabber per input source from within 
mythtv. What I need is a way to get the listings for all these channels 
into mythtv, linked to the correct source.

Is the best way to just disable mythfilldatabase from within mythtv and 
set up a cron task that runs each xmltv grabber in turn and then runs 
mythfilldatabase for each country, specifying the xml file and the 
sourceid of the card connected to the satllite stb? Does anyone with a 
similar setup have any suggestions for me?

regards,

drbob
