This came up on the list the other day. If you run the grabber
manually (that is, outside of MythTV), you can run mythfilldatabase
with the "--update" option to allow you to uswethe same XMLTV file for
both sources. Only the matching channels/XMLTVIDs will be updated on
each video source.

This method allows you to run the XMLTV grabber once for all of the
channels you can receive, and then have mythfilldatabase use the data
to update all video sources.

Cheers,
Nick
