Sorry Bill, I climbed the thread without bringing you along. I was
referring to the following:
KERNEL=="dvb?.frontend?",SUBSYSTEM=="dvb",ATTRS{subsystem_vendor}=="0x0070",ATTRS{subsystem_device}=="0x7911",SYMLINK+="JustTesting",GROUP="video"

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   22 Jan 25 16:43 /dev/JustTesting ->
dvb/adapter0/frontend0

and my results were:
 drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  120 Jan 26 18:32 adapter0
>> drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  120 Jan 26 18:33 adapter1

Can you see what I mean now?   Daryl
