You shouldn't need two sources for this. Just set up the xmltv source and edit 
the <source>.xmltv file to only include the channels you expect to get that way. 
Then, set the other channels as collecting data via EIT.

This should work. I do a similar thing in the UK, where I get TV schedules via 
the BBC xmltv feed, but this doesn't include radio schedules. I have to get 
those via EIT.
