Right now they are listed in the devices section, but nothing more.
During startup mythtv complains vis:

2010-02-05 16:11:56.602 Channel(/dev/video-HVR-950Q-F04BEC59): Device
name 'Hauppauge HVR950Q' driver 'au0828'.
2010-02-05 16:11:56.605 MSqlQuery::exec() "SELECT cardinputid,
inputname,   startchan,        tunechan,    externalcommand,
sourceid FROM cardinput WHERE cardid = '6'"
2010-02-05 16:11:56.605 ChannelBase(6) Error: InitializeInputs():
                        Could not get inputs for the capturecard.
                        Perhaps you have forgotten to bind video
                        sources to your card's inputs?

and marks them as broken.  I'm pretty sure I've also encountered the
problem when those analog devices weren't even listed.

Hmm, does this:

tv at tv-desktop:~$ udevadm info -q path -n /dev/dvb/adapterF04BEC59/frontend0
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/usb1/1-2/dvb/dvb0.frontend0
tv at tv-desktop:~$ udevadm info -q path -n /dev/dvb/adapterF0677017/frontend0
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.1/usb1/1-4/dvb/dvb1.frontend0

answer your question  (yes I've been playing with udev names)? I guess
they are on the same bus, aong with the PVR-USB2 and the disk being
used to store recordings.

Based on today's results, the second recording to start is the one
that fails.  But not always.

hope this helps,
