This is why magician's illusions are so much fun. We see
what we wish to believe is happening rather than what is
actually happening. Please reread keys.txt:

 - N swaps the two channels by changing channels on both cards.

"N" can not, will not and does not change which card input
displays full screen. Swapping is done by changing channels
on each card to the channel that had been on the other card.
This can only work if both inputs use the same video source.

Live TV cannot change cards on the fly but it can change inputs
on a single card. If the dual input card is the card used for
Live TV without PIP, "C" will switch between inputs on the card.

The other thing that won't work is if you use "M" to bring
up the EPG, you cannot choose a channel for the other source.
You would need to use "C" then go to the EPG to choose a
channel from the current input.

Live TV uses the first available tuner on the local host or
the first available anywhere if there isn't a local tuner.
If you want to test the video and audio quality on the second
card, start a recording to keep the first card occupied then
go to Live TV.
