Running two hdpvrs works fine.

I have a udev rule like this that keeps them straight

#HDPVR - hdpvr1
KERNEL=="video?",SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux",ATTRS{serial}=="00A4FCD7", 
SYMLINK+="v
4l/hdpvr1"
#KERNEL=="lirc?",SUBSYSTEM=="lirc",ATTRS{serial}=="00A4FCD7", 
SYMLINK+="v4l/hdpv
rb1"

#HDPVR - hdpvr3
KERNEL=="video?",SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux",ATTRS{serial}=="00A4FC32", 
SYMLINK+="v
4l/hdpvr3"
#KERNEL=="lirc?",SUBSYSTEM=="lirc",ATTRS{serial}=="00A4FC32", 
SYMLINK+="v4l/hdpv
rb3"

Then in mythtv, I point it to /dev/v4l/hdpvrb1 or hdpvrb3.

You would need to adjust to use your serial numbers.
