[mythtv-users] Encoder disappears

Hmm, I'm not sure, I think it happened once after I had explicitly
checked for it after boot but I'm not 100% sure, I'm fiddling so much
on this machine right now.

I'll try that next time, it hasn't happened the last 5 times I booted.
One of the weird things with mythbuntu (next time I do it all one
after another again) is that it makes the mythtv user a system user
and I log in under a different user. I'm not sure whether the mythtv
user or my user are opening /dev/video1.

No, to the best of my knowledge, this system is supposed to do only
mythtv, nothing else should be trying to use that TV-card.

Thanks for your help.
