it stays the same, checked all permissions and they are all good.
i logged also in as root to test it if it works as root, stays the same.
But in mythtv, i can receive the channel listing, so it's working at 
that point.
other applications like tvtime can open the device but the screen is 
green and only at the top of the screen there is a scrambled part.
