Description
Hello,
When I configured tvheadend for the first time, I finally found that it had not the right permission to access the device (hts user was not in the video group on debian), but I had no warning on this.
It would be nice to have a permission check on access to /dev/dvb/adapterX/* and have a warning on this configuration error. The debian package could also be updated to add hts to the video group on install.
Thanks

TVHeadend (via debian package) already runs with group video support, rather than adding the hts user to the group.
Not sure that a permissions warning is really necessary. But if you provide a patch I'll take a look.
