You can try in your cronjpb to run it in two parts as I wrote earlier.
First run the grabber putting the output in a tmp-file en the
mythfilldatabase importing from that file. You then can unset the
grabber in your source. This is how I always do it and I see no
interference in between the sources.

`--quiet --config-file <home>/.mythtv/<source-name>.conf --output /tmp/<some-tmp-name>`

`mythfilldatabase --file --xmlfile /tmp/<some-tmp-name> --sourceid <the-source-id>`
You can add log options like for instance:
`--syslog local5`
See the help function.
