Is there any way to specify that a particular channel appears on
multiple video sources? Or alternatively that more than one video
source are available on a particular capture card input?

I have a dual tuner setup capable of recording the local satelite TV
transmissions and FTA broadcasts. The satelite transmission also
includes most of the FTA channels so I can record these through both
inputs (which is handy for recording two things at once). Currently I
have those channels duplicated so they appear twice in the EPG and I
have to pick which one I want to record from. What I'd like is for
those channels to appear only once and for MythTV to use which input
is spare when recording from them (favouring the satelite source as
that's better quality).

Yes, yes, yes and yes. Been covered many times in the archives and
even earlier this week. Two channels with the same callsign are
considered the same station. If two channels have the same callsign
and number, it is only shown once in the EPG. If either is different
it shows both. The lowest numbered input is the first choice for a
station available from more than one source. See:
