  It is possible that my USB WebCam is at times setting up as video0 and
at times setting up as video1, but when I looked at this last night,
video1 detected in mythtv as the PVR-150, and the device numbers were
taken from the /dev directory.  Having just deleted the card and
re-detected it this is the result from the CLI.
