If you were using XMLTV data, that would be correct, since 
mythfilldatabase would be running on the master backend, and would your 
grabbers would need to be installed and selected on your master backend. 
With EIT, it doesn't really matter, but it's still good practice to do 
everything that can be done on the master, on the master.

This would be video source one, and you would only need to scan once for 
these four inputs.

> Backend#2, card #0, tuner 5&6 = Astra1

This would be video source two, and you would need to scan for channels 
independently of the first video source.

This would again be a third video source, scanned independently from the 
other two.

Without running separate video sources for your separate services, 
MythTV has no way of knowing your second backend couldn't access 
channels from Astra2.
