Errrr i'm just being greedy! Seriously, I intend to have a couple (maybe a
few - if i'm feeling rich enough to buy a footie package this year) of DVB-S
cards pointing at different satellites and a couple of DVB-T cards pointing
at a single transmitter. 
So I may get away with 8 /dev/dvb/ nodes. Don't forget using the "Hero-Nick"
method (which is the only one that works after months of my looking!) you
need two nodes per card (the one udev allocates and the one you link to so
udev doesn't mix up your DVB-T cards and DVB-S cards or your DVB-S cards
with different viewing cards pointing at different satellites).

Fancy helping with that grep/shell script ;o)
