This was covered in detail recently. Basiaclly, mythtv will only force the 2nd tuner to be used if you have added the 4 minute overrun onto the _program_ recording setting. It doesn't do it if the overrun is a global setting. There was much discussion on the pros and cons of this in the earlier thread - see http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/99544?search_string=2nd%20tuner
