I prefixed my rules with:

     KERNEL=="dvb?.frontend?",

in order for udev to choose frontend0 over net0. I also used the subsystem_device
and subsystem_vendor keys with the corresponding values.

This is my rule and the link it created:

KERNEL=="dvb?.frontend?",SUBSYSTEM=="dvb",ATTRS{subsystem_vendor}=="0x0070",ATTRS{subsystem_device}=="0x7911",SYMLINK+="JustTesting",GROUP="video"

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   22 Jan 25 16:43 /dev/JustTesting -> dvb/adapter0/frontend0
