To the OP:

I have a feeling all would work fine if you:

a) set up all the desired lineups you want at Schedules Direct website
b) for any "extra large" lineups--lineups with a ton of channels--remove 
all (or, perhaps all but one) channels from the lineup
c) use mythtv-setup to configure your Video Source(s) and choose the 
desired lineup
d) use the Schedules Direct website to add desired channels to all your 
lineups

That way, you'll have the appropriate lineup selected for each Video 
Source.  Then, you can add channels.  If you're using an analog capture 
device or a non-scannable input (e.g. firewire or CableCARD) and the 
"Fetch channels from listings provider" button doesn't work, let me know 
and I'll give you a command line for a mythfilldatabase invocation that 
likely will.
