You should create a separate channel changing script for each tuner
and in each script make sure to specify the correct GUID for the STB
you want to change.

So, for example, I have a script that does:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/6200ch -g  f80bbefffe707f3e -d 10 -4 $1
/usr/local/bin/6200ch -g  f80bbefffe707f3e -e
sleep 2

The "f80bbefffe707f3e" is the GUID for the STB shown by plugreport.
If you have two boxes, you'll have two GUIDs.  Just write one script
for each STB.
