The little script below might help. I use it like so in my epg script;

while [ "`/usr/local/bin/myth_recorder_status 5 6 7`" != 'FREE' ]; do
    echo "DVB card is in use by MythTV, sleeping for a bit."
    sleep 30m
done

------------------------- script --------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python

import sys
from MythTV import MythTV

if len(sys.argv) < 2:
    print "Usage: myth_recorder_status <RECORDER> [<RECORDER> ...]"
    sys.exit(2)

m = MythTV()
recorders_that_exist = m.getRecorderList()

res = 'FREE'
for recorder in sys.argv[1:]:
    if int(recorder) not in recorders_that_exist:
        print 'NOT VALID RECORDER (%s)' % recorder
        sys.exit(1)
    if m.isRecording(recorder):
        res = 'RECORDING'
print res
sys.exit(0)
------------------------- end --------------------------
