It could well be. If you are using the analogue tuner on the old card,
and the 2 digital tuners on the Nova-T-500, you only need 2 video
sources - one containing the analog channels, and one containing the
digital channels.

The database tables related to capturecards, cardinputs, channels and
videosources have obvious names, and it's quite easy to figure out the
relationships between them.

However, this shouldn't be necessary and you should only need to enter
mythtv-setup and verify which card inputs are connected to which video
sources. Make sure those are correctly configured (analogue video
source connected to analogue tuner, digital video source connected to
_both_ DVB tuners) and everything should work properly without
requiring any DB tinkering.
