    I think the question is, "how do you create a video source
    containing both lineups". The input connections page in setup only
    allows you to link a single source to each tuner, and each source
    only allows you to select a single lineup. This seems like a common
    scenario using SD with OTA channels, I know many people who receive
    channels from two separate cities on the same antenna, and SD may
    not contain a single lineup with all of those channels. It would be
    nice if SD had the option to merge two lineups, or if a video source
    could have more than one lineup. Is there a trick to this I am not
    aware of? It doesn't effect me, but I am curious.


I have always used two "lineups" with SD to get data for all of my OTA 
channels.  I don't know about creating video sources with lineups in 
MythTV, as I have never done that.  To me, the idea of a lineup is just 
silly, since no one else has the same set of channels that I do.

I just manually enter the XMLTV ID for each channel in the channel 
editor for each input.  I have 6 tuners, each on it's own input.  I 
probably could use two inputs (I have two independent antennas), but I 
find it easier to determine which tuner is being used when each tuner is 
assigned it's own input.
