The key thing is having the callsigns the same between the channels. 
If the same program is available on two channels, and each channel 
has the same callsign then it's the same program, and the scheduler 
will use which ever card is available (lowest cardID first, but you 
can set card priority in mythtv-setup)

I don't use the DVB-S EPG, I use the normal EPG.
Personally I grab the xml file using a script and tv_grab_dvb (based 
on the info from pvr.geek.nz).  Once I've got the normal data loaded 
I have a mysql script to copy the program data from the just loaded 
TV One to the TV One of the DVB card (as an example)  Just repeat for 
each extra channel on the DVB card.

Other option is to run mythfilldatabase twice in a row to populate 
the 2 different channel lineups (1 per card)

mythfilldatabase --file 1 -1 latestlistings.xml
mythfilldatabase --file 2 -1 latestlistings.xml
