I don't think you can.  I think the driver can only be opened by one 
application at a time.  Mine is the same.

With Myth, if the backend is using it to record, you cannot watch tv, 
BUT you can go into the recorded shows and watch the show it is halfway 
through recording.  If you want a different channel, then you need to 
buy a second card.
