This is not enough. Without being root, mythtv can not access the video
device.
This is what I changed in /etc/init.d/mythbackend:


  MYTHCONFDIR="$MYTHTV_HOME"
  export MYTHCONFDIR
<------------------- removed $
  HOME="$MYTHTV_HOME"
  export HOME
  cd $MYTHTV_HOME
  # Does not work on Red Hat, do to to missing audio/video groups.
  # daemon --user mythtv $binary $OPTIONS     <------------------- commented
this line (#)
  daemon $binary $OPTIONS
