I think the "right" way to do this is to create two sources, one analog with
nothing but the analog channels and one digital with nothing but the digital
channels.  Assign the analog source to the tuner/television input and the 
digital input to the s-video or composite input.  

Even though your digital source has all the analog channels as well (I assume)
you don't want the analog channels in that source because you get duplicate
channels in the guide, etc.  

MythTV switches back and forth between the inputs for recording, but during
live TV you have to manually switch inputs with the c key.  (That factoid
is in keys.txt file that comes with the myth source and is usually included
in binary packages as well.)
