In mythtv-setup there's the option for only opening cards 'ondemand'.
I think that should stop mythtv trying to open both at the same time
(on startup). But it won't stop myth opening both if u have two
programs scheduled at the same time, or you try and watch TV while
it's recording.

Just a shot in the dark...
