Cause that aint the way it works.  Read the docs at mythtv.org to 
understand how it all works, for now heres a quick tip :

Hit Y while watching TV, it will switch between multiple capture cards.  
*NOTE*: you will lose your LiveTV buffer on your current card. 
Useful for different-sourced cards (such as Dish Network on one, HDTV 
over-the-air on another card.)

Oh and if youd like it to behave differently, we happily await your patch.
