Sorry, I didn't realize that mythtv was a proper user, when I looked I
was looking on the wrong computer, and I didn't have a mythtv
directory in /home/ (which makes sense as mythtv is not installed :))

I just ASS-umed that mythtv would be a service user (without a home
directory) , you know what that makes me

Cheers,
