I haven't used DVB-S, but do you need to scan both?  Are they going to 
be used with distinct source lists?

I can never remember the Myth vocabulary, but I would just scan once, in 
the Channel Editor pages;  then you can try 'Prefer input n'
in the 'Schedule Recordings' menu and see how it goes.  Or, if you are 
defining two sources, scan there with the appropriate source selected.
