First up you can just use "Y" to switch tuners...
but...

I'm talking straight HD channel to HD Lineup channel.

Maybe I'm getting you confused by assuming you have different lineups
for your sources.. but I'm remembering you can only create one lineup
per cable lineup, even if you change your zip code.

I may be getting too much over my head, because I only deal with OTA
and HD QAM and thats it.  no other sources or lineups.
