Also...

This is what I find when greping in my udev folder...

mythtv udev # grep -R dvb *
rules.d/50-udev.rules:# dvb devices
rules.d/50-udev.rules:KERNEL=="dvb*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh 
%k", NAME="%c", GROUP="video", MODE="0660"
scripts/dvb.sh:echo $1 | sed -e 
's#^dvb\([0-9]\)\.\([^0-9]*\)\([0-9]\)#dvb/adapter\1/\2\3#'

Should there be anything else/more?
