No.  If it did, you'd be watching the other tuner.  But there is a way 
to fix the problem.

Option a) In setup (General Settings):

Avoid conflicts between live TV and scheduled shows.
If enabled, live TV will choose a tuner card that is less likely to have 
scheduled recordings rather than the best card available.

Option b) Don't watch LiveTV.  Record everything.  ;)
