Post subject:  Selecting Channel in Dual tuner systems

How does one control which tuner is used for recording and watching live TV? I did not see a control mechanism \ menu item for this. I guess it really does not matter, but I was just curious. Is it possible to record two channels at the same time?

Somewhere in Setup (General?) there's a check box for "Avoid Conflicts While Watching Live TV" (or something like that, I'm not in front of my box). That checkbox coupled with you assigning one card a higher priority over the other (On the backend set up Alt+S) can give you some control.

Yes. You won't be able to watch a 3rd live channel though...

I found the following snippets:

V toggle Picture-in-picture on or off
B toggles the window focus (lets you change channels on the PiP window)
N swaps the two channels by changing channels on both cards
