You can very easily assign different channel lineups to different tuners.  I
do just that; I have 3 tuners attached to analog cable, and another capture
card attached to a digital cable box. The latter card only knows about the
digital cable channels (my choice; the box will tune all the channels.)

You only have one EPG -- that's the on-screen display.  It's a composite of
all of the channels you receive.
