Well, it's definitely the symlinks at fault then. So the Myth logs won't  
help.

Frankly I've run out of ideas/experience. My only remaining suggestion is  
permissions but I'm sure you've been there/done that already....

grep -i video /etc/group

should show that mythtv & daryl are members

and you can force the group on the symlink rules by:

SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", ATTRS{device}=="0x8852", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k;  
K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/HP1250/%%s $${K#*.}; exit 0'", SYMLINK+="%c",  
GROUP="video"

SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", ATTRS{device}=="0x8802", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k;  
K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/PC800i/%%s $${K#*.}; exit 0'", SYMLINK+="%c",  
GROUP="video"

But I don't think it'll make any difference.

Sorry I've led you up a blind alley. But we've both learnt a lot about  
udev along the way!
