Access to the hardware is only required by the backend process. 
Users running a frontend don't use the capture card directly.

Accept during mythtv-setup? Nearly every HOWTO says to do this step as a
non-root user.
 
---------------------------

It is perfectly acceptable to run mythtv-setup as root. You should only need
to run this to configure your sources and lineup or when you make
fundimental changes. A normal user will never need to access it. All user
level settings are available thru the frontend.
