There are various settings you can make to set the priority for
recording/live tv on your tuners as well.  I have 5 tuners, they are set
with recording priority from 1-5 and live tv priority from 5-1... so
essentially if I go into live TV it uses tuner 5, and my recordings try to
use the lowest numbered tuner available.  With just 2 tuners, it's harder
because often the scheduler will need to make use of the second tuner for
various reasons.
