Not sure why you're doing this. You should set up 2 video sources. 1 
with your Digital channels and 1 with your analog channels. Assign your 
digital source to your DVB-T and your analog sources to your PVR-150 
cards. If two of your sources are coming from a single STB, assign them 
to the same input group so Myth knows it cannot use them at the same time.

You should have duplicates on the guide so you know when you're looking 
at a digital channel and when you're looking at an analog channel.
