as user mythtv, when I try to add my air2pc HD-5000 card I get the
following:
Frontend ID: could not open card#0! Subtype: permission denied!
When I run mythtv-setup as root and try to add the card, it
properly
recognizes the card. But I know I am not supposed to runt it as
root.
So can anyone help me with this problem? I would assume my
"mythtv"
user account is still not set up properly, but I am not sure
what to do.

That didn't work for me on a Gentoo box as the devices were
"root,root". This was not a logical choice by whoever set up udev, as
I think it would be reasonable to assume that *some* normal user
would want to use the devices.

Not necessarily. The dvb devices use up so much bandwidth that it is
logical to assume that the program accessing them will need access to
realtime scheduling as well, which is also a root-only function.
Making dvb devices owned by root to me is the natural thing to do.<br>
