That is exactly what I do, and without the RUN script. Then I can reference
/dev/hdpvr1 and /dev/hdpvr2 in mythtv-setup. Works great.

99% of the time, it seems that my hdpvr1 is /dev/video0 and hdpvr2 is
/dev/video1, but every once in a while, it comes up different. Especially
if I have to power cycle one of the HDPVRs, which tends to make it come
back as /dev/video2. But the hdpvr1 and hdpvr2 symlinks always point to the
right one, so no worries.
