You need a single all-inclusive lineup, but you need a separate MythTV 
video source (that uses the same lineup).  Remember, lineup does not 
equal video source (and vice versa).

This is the most-efficient way of doing what you want.  Using a separate 
lineup is not efficient/is not the supported approach (though many do it 
that way because they haven't taken the time to learn to do it right).

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-24.html#ss24.2 for one approach 
to create your lineup and video sources.  See 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034 for how 
to clean up your current video sources so you can configure as described.
