I do this. My setup is Sky + FTA DVB-S. For example I have channel One twice
in the channel table, once for Sky and once for DVB-S. Both rows have the
same channum and callsign (so both MythWeb and MythTV treat them as being
the same channel and they only appear once in the guides). They do have
different names, One (Sky) and One (DVB), but I don't actually find much use
for that.

I have the DVB-S input's priority higher than the Sky input's priority so
recordings will happen on the DVB-S card if they can. I don't find any need
to select a particular version of a channel, probably because I don't use
LiveTV much.

Cheers,
Steve
