(if you mean tv-in dvb-t as a cable from your antenna)
thats the way vdr woks, its called transfer-mode

in your case you will have to copy both *.conf (terr. and sat) files
together, vdr will handle the rest, only problem is that if you have 2
identical channels from different systems (in you case from T and S)
there will be 2 entrys in your list and a timer for that "double"
channel is for a system (T or S), because a timer is always for a
channel - you should try to keep one system (i.e. sat), all other ist
possible but you loose a litte comfort compared with a homogen solution
