OK.. now I did it. Yes... it works somehow with nice effects :-) the replay stays on the second card and all the OSD-stuff changes to the first card showing live-tv of the 
last tuned channel. You can even switch channels on card one via the channel-list and partly the numbers (the cursors and the keys used while replaying are still active 
for the replay-session on card two, so you get a strange mix of remote-functions). And of course you may not switch to a channel that needs the card which replays or 
start a new replay-session. As a side-effect, the replay also triggered the well-known CAM-problem that "locks" decrypting to the last decrypted channel :-(.
So.. all in all it solves at least Rainers problem with OSD-stuff appearing on the Video while still requiring a sensible use of the remote unless you want unmotivated 
pause/search-modes on the tape :-)
