Not sure if you're referring to Yianni's suggestions above or the last
comment I made which was:

   Here's what I came up with for my dual tuner card.

       http://pastebin.com/GADQ2kvV

   Pastebin the *current* output of:

       udevadm info --attribute-walk --path $(udevadm info --query path --name=/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0)

   (or whatever device(s) you're testing) and the rule if you're not getting the
   link(s) you want.

In any case, the 2 directories in your response look exactly like mine
(which is for a single HVR-2200 card.) In the example I gave, the links
are made in /dev. I also mentioned that the GROUP key can be eliminated
and the links will still get created.
