The way I understand your system you need to configure two video
sources, one for the HD-PVR/cable and one for the Quatro/OTA.
All four tuners of the Quatro have to be connected to the one video
source you created for the Quatro/OTA.
In the mythtv-setup Channel Editor, when you select "All" video
sources, you get all channels from all  video sources.
If there are channels that are both on the HD-PVR/cable and on the
Quattro/OTA then you see that channel twice.
Note that on the mythfrontend Program Guide the same channel from
different video sources is shown only once.
If you want to use EIT/EPG then you need to do that on only one tuner
per video source. So for the Quattro/OTA you configure EIT/EPG only
for the first tuner.

I am not familiar with Schedules-Direct but maybe it works
automatically OK once the setup is correct.

Klaas.
