What should happen with Swap is that Tuner 1 stays put on the channel you were watching, and Tuner 2 you can channel surf, etc.

I am not a programmer, so I took this to mean that if the DVR function for EACH tuner is not always on or engaged somehow, like actually recording something, the Live TV functionality (pause, scroll back, etc.) is only working on the channel you are watching. I had read on line that a possible solution was to have the hard drive for the CISCO box be configured as "always on" (which is not the default). It appears the two tuners built into the box do not run independent of each other. See this description for the Motorola box With the Swap function on the new CISCO boxes, it more or less acts like a "Last Channel" function, it takes you to the last channel you were watching.
With our prior Motorola DVR boxes, each box had 2 tuners that ran independent of the other, so when nothing was recording, you can watch something on one channel (call that Tuner 1), swap, then browse the channels on Tuner 2, and then swap back to the original programming on Tuner 1 (which is a very cool feature!!!).
We are having difficulty with the "Swap" function. We just switched to the whole house DVR by adding 3 base CISCO Explorer 8642HDC boxes (no "clients"). Would love help with the Swap function! Asked my cable company and got nothing helpful, here's the question:
