I'm going to answer once for completeness and then ignore further
comments.
Inputs that carry a common set of channels may use the same data
source.
If the inputs vary, for example dvb-t vs dvb-s or dvb-s FTA vs dvb-s
with a CAM, then you need separate data source.
As for the case of BBC 1 being available via dvb-t or dvb-s, the
scheduler will consider the channels identical for recording purposes
IF and only IF the _CALLSIGN_ is the same
Now i know from experience BBC1 is signalled as "BBC ONE" on dvb-t
and as "BBC 1", "BBC 1 London", "BBC 1 South" etc... on dvb-s.
This makes the callsigns different, so you need to do some work
to set it up. This is left as an exercise for the reader as this is
the -dev mailing list.
