<div>Thanks William,</div>

<div>I seem to be making an incorrect association. I can not operate MythTV as non-root. I assumed that this resulted from the inability to complete mythtv-setup as a non-root user. </div>

<div>During mythtv-setup I receive the warning "<em>Frontend ID: could not open card#0! Subtype: permission denied!" </em>It now seems that the inability to complete mythtv-setup as a non-root user and the inability to operate MythTV as a non-root user are separate issues.

<div>However, I suspect that it is a permissions issue that is causing the inability in both instances. </div>
