so only one card is connected to a sat cable?

AFAIK, it's not possible now to watch one channel while recording
another channel with your config (although it should be possible in
theory -- at least for the same transponder)
the only thing you can do is watch a recording on the primary card while
recording something on the second card.
You'll have to connect both cards to the LNB (eventually over a switch)
to be able to use the full advantages of a two-card-system.
IIRC Rainer Zocholl posted a patch some days ago for connecting two
cards to the same cable, so you'll be able to watch and record two
channels on the same polarization at the same time.
