One uses Multicast RTP streams, the other plain HTTP streams. I can record and watch each of them, but when I want to record from both networks simultaneously I'll get a "Waiting for stream" message.

Ok, some thoughts (Just a try, since I do not know about IPTV settings):
DVB-C/T:
- in a DVB-T/C environment, each 'radio channel' ( or 'frequency) is called a 'mux' ( or multpilex') , that can contain multiple channels .
- If the tuner is set to one MUX (physically set) you can simultaneous watch those multiple channels ON THAT MUX. You cannot watch others.
IPTV:
- Now, you set multiple 'IPTV' networks. However, if they in fact correspond to the same 'IPTV' network , you might have a similar situation in which it is that if the original source is used, you cannot use the second source to watch another channel.
- This means that both of them seem to work as individuals ( when only one is active), but in fact hey are coupled, and watching one blocks the other.
This (of course) all depends on the actual situation with your iptv provider and it might well be possible to watch two channels simultaneous in some other way. ( can you do it on your tv using the iptv box?).
