Maybe I'm missing something here, but two cards, two tuners... I can only
see this working when both channels being recorded are on the same
transponder (i.e., handled by a single card).

If you're recording channels from two different transponders (polarization
doesn't really matter), both cards will be in use. This limits the choice of
available channels to channels on the same transponder the primary card is
currently recording from (or in the best case, to the two transponders the
cards are already recording from - no idea if transfer mode would work in
this scenario).
