Yes, you can specify the tuner for any recording.  Edit the recording
rule, go to Schedule Options, and change the "Use any available tuner"
setting to whichever tuner you want.  I hope you have named your
tuners in MythTV Setup so that you can tell which is which.  Each
tuner will have multiple entries for each of the multirec virtual
tuners - they each have the same name as the tuner and you have to
count them to decide which virtual tuner to assign.

However, it is easier to just use "Watch TV".  From there, after it
tunes in and starts playing, use the M (menu) key or the equivalent on
your remote, select Source, Change Tuner, and then the tuner you want
to test.
