The user - yes. The homedirectory - yes. But you should create the
~/bin and ~/.mythtv-directory before creating the startup-script.

You have the "mkdir bin" later in the walkthrough.

That's bad. Since they are not even able to give me such a list via
Webinterface I have to check wether I can find it somwhere else.
Maybe I can hack it for myself ;-)
