Yes, it seems so. From an earlier post:

<snip>
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root     120 Aug 29 12:23 ./
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root      60 Aug 29 12:23 ../
crw-rw----  1 root video 212, 4 Aug 29 12:23 demux0
crw-rw----  1 root video 212, 5 Aug 29 12:23 dvr0
crw-rw----  1 root video 212, 3 Aug 29 12:23 frontend0
crw-rw----  1 root video 212, 7 Aug 29 12:23 net0
</snip>

In my case it doesn't matter for MythTV as the backend is running as root anyway.
