Thank for your reply Nick.

I configured the channels in mythtv-setup (SSF with ch_search and the 
others with eu_epgdata).
Mythtv-backend runs mythfilldatabase for both grabbers and it finds data 
for both grabbers.
But I can't tune to SSF in LiveTV and mythtv-backend doesn't record 
anything from SSF.
The program data is listed correctly in mythweb Listings.

I think I did all the steps you explained?
