Disabling channels on dual tuner system

Would anyone have a suggestion on disabling a channel from ever
being selected on a dual tuner 18.1 mythbox ?

I have a PVR-250 (sourceid 1) and a FIREWIRE from a Motorola 6200
(sourceid 3) setup using a single Zapit account. The 250 can access a
subset of channels .... (<60) while the Firewire can access all
channels.

I could use 2 accounts, but that seems wasteful. Mythfilldatabase
will load channels 2-930 on both inputs. Deleting the unwanted channels
on input 1 doesn't work...they are reloaded on the next mythfilldatabase
run.

I've set the recpriority field on sourceid 1 to -99 for the unwanted
channels and that works just fine...but I bet there is a way to
totally disable a channel on a specific input.

Thanks,

Barry

I believe you can create a second zap2it lineup under your single
account and select/deselect the channels you want for each.

I am not infront of my machine right now, but how do you tell the
different inputs to use the different line-ups in the backend setup?
