[mythtv-users] starting mythbackend at boot up issues

I wanted to run mythbackend as a user not root so I followed the 
instructions to the letter.  The backend start up fails because 
/dev/video0 is only r/w by root.  I change the permissions to "a+rw" 
but I guess /dev/video* is created at boot time.  After rebooting the 
permissions were root r/w only again.  Any suggestions?
