[mythtvnz] DVB startup problems

[Alan Walls]

After your comments I spent some time adding trace statements in my
startup code. =20

The problem turned out to be the devices had been created BUT they only
had root access rights and mythbackend was being started as user
"mythtv".  What confused me was later during startup the access rights
for these devices was changed to give access to user "mythtv".  I still
don't know when and why this happens.

Adding the following lines to by startup script fixed the problem.

	chmod -R 777 /dev/dvb
	chmod 777 /dev/video0

Thanks for your help.
Alan

Perhaps you are starting your backend too soon, ie before the driver
module is loaded? How are you starting the backend at boot?
