This is normal with one of these cards. (the drivers are a little bugy) 
:-(  Don't fret.. just continue. the 8FRONTEND DEVICE: : Device or resource 
busy is just a bug in the drivers and actually means you have locked into a 
correct freq.

Just tune in with myth as normal and everything will work. All the above 
step does is test if you get a signal.

Thanks
