The new (v2.0) pcHDTV drivers do not create the /dev/video32 (with 
major=81 and minor=32) any longer, they now create the /dev/video1 
(major=81, minor=1).  You will find this particularly challenging when 
trying to add the card in MythTV as it looks for major=81 and 
minor=32... My recommendation is to go with the cx88-dvb driver.
