Actually no, not a unified lineup.  XMLTV/tv_grab_na_dd only supports 
one "lineup" per "config" file.  Even though all lineups are downloaded, 
only the one in the config file is used.  In addition the config file 
lets you filter out certain stations.

My solution is this:

tuner1.config

    username: user
    password: pass
    timezone: -0500
    lineup:   TX42822:-
    channel: 54 AETV
    channel: 43 CNBC
    not channel: 3 DSC
    not channel: 57 TLC

tuner2.config

    username: user
    password: pass
    timezone: -0500
    lineup:   TX42822:-
    not channel: 54 AETV
    not channel: 43 CNBC
    channel: 3 DSC
    channel: 57 TLC

tv_grab_na_dd --config-file-tuner1.config --dd-data=dd.xml 
--output=tuner1.xmltv
tv_grab_na_dd --config-file-tuner2.config --dd-data=dd.xml 
--output=tuner2.xmltv --reprocess
mythdatabaseload  tuner1.xmltv  (syntax made up, remember I don't know myth)
mythdatabaseload  tuner2.xmltv
