As the script below shows, I tried to run a program that read from the
/dev/bttv device (an STB PCI TV Tuner). But as you can see, I got a message
that it couldn't open /dev/bttv. I then included the permissions that I had
set for /dev/bttv to show that it is readable.
  Any ideas, on why I can't open /dev/bttv ?
