[mythtv-users] /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 occasionally swapped on reboot: udev rule needed?

[Justin Johnson]

Yes that's exactly what you should do, then in your mythtv-setup configure
your cards to use /dev/BT878 and /dev/PVR150 with the priority that you
want. This is exactly what I do w/ my PVR-350 and AverMedia A180.
