[SOLVED] Capture/TV Tuner Card /dev/video1 permissions

Hello,

Everytime I plug my usb tv tuner card in its device file (/dev/video1) gets root:root permission. Even if I change its permission, when I unplug and plug it back the permission gets the default. As user, I have to change the permissions everytime so I can use the device.

How do I change that?

Thanks

Have a look for managing udev rules.
Don't mind the wiki is about webcams, it is just the same procedure.
