Okay, for these I have a video source named "vidsource1" = EIT data. 
Until now, I have always scanned both receivers though, is MythTV able
to work with just one channel scan and now that the same channels are
also available on card#1 ?

Okay, I have now configured (very imaginatively) "vidsource2" = EIT and
attached to BE2:card0.  The channel scan is running now.

Okay. I would previously have used just "vidsource1" = EIT.

Many thanks for helping with this Raymond.
