I have not had this problem with the dvb portion. Though, I have 
experienced this with the analog portion. Some rules:

KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", ATTR{name}=="saa7164* mpeg (Hauppauge WinT", 
ATTR{index}=="0", SYMLINK+="hvr2250_0"
KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", ATTR{name}=="saa7164* mpeg (Hauppauge WinT", 
ATTR{index}=="1", SYMLINK+="hvr2250_1"

It appears I do not have a rule for the HVR-1250 so perhaps I am not 
using the analog input portion.
