A clarification here - by "source" above I presume you actually mean "tuner". 
Not even "card" as a card may contain more than one tuner. A "source" in mythtv 
parlance is something quite different.

If you have more than one source (mythtv definition) defined, it is axiomatic 
that they will describe sets of channels with little or no overlap (otherwise 
there's little point). That means that EIT data on one source is very likely to 
have no information on the programming for other sources.

I think that you are describing multiple tuners connected to the same source here.

Just to clarify.
