no need for separate scripts, you can pass the GUID to a script with
the channel change command,
/usr/local/bin/hdpvrchanger.sh <GUID>

then use a script similar to what I created for using 6200ch to change
a cable box channel over firewire,

Then do what Andrew said with a udev rule, here are the rules I use,

/etc/udev/rules.d$ more 87-hdpvr.rules
ATTRS{product}=="Hauppauge HD PVR", ATTRS{serial}=="00A50D6C", SYMLINK+="hdpvr1"
ATTRS{product}=="Hauppauge HD PVR", ATTRS{serial}=="00A46E55", SYMLINK+="hdpvr2"
