I had this issue with my Nova-T-500 (one card, dual DVB-T tuners). I solved
it by giving the second tuner a higher preference (in mythtv-setup). This
seems to allow recordings to prefer the second tuner, while live tv still
defaults to the first one.

Only time this gets messy is when you are recording two overlapping shows
(which the second show uses the first tuner), and you want to watch live tv.
In this case, you'll still need to manually switch inputs.
