The fact that the HP pvr150 analog card has a working symlink assures
me that my cards will not go off line; I've seen it as video0 and as
video2 and no recordings missed. but I still don't understand why a
symlink can not be created for the digital cards. When I followed
Bill's example, his ls -l result was " lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   22 Jan
25 16:43 /dev/JustTesting ->" whereas my result was " drwxr-xr-x  2
root root  120 Jan 26 18:32 adapter0"  no symlink? different
characters preceding "root root"?
just curious   Daryl
