With XPMCE you must use the same signal source for each tuner in your dual
tuner card. The only way I know of to do what you want to do is to buy an
HDTV tuner card (assuming that you get HD broadcasts in your area) and use
it to record over the air (OTA) signals through MCE. In this manner, you
can view the program guide information for both the sattelite and OTA
stations. It appears to be the only "supported" method of mixing signal
types.
