Thanks for this answer. So I've got it configured correctly. It's just a
bit of pain to scan for (new) channels when it has to be done twice (for
each source separately even though they point to the same satellite).

It does not work properly and that was the main reason why I posted the
initial question here:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/410801?search_string=cards%20vs%20sources;#410801
See the last example.

I think you've encouraged me enough to create a bug report in the trac.

Thanks
