Nope. You are tuning different /hardware/. Doesn't matter what the original source of your input is. 
Analog hardware will require one tuning method, digital hardware requires a completely different 
method. Hence two sources.

You should, however, be able to tie those both to the same SD account, since the channel selection 
you can get either way will be exactly the same.
