[mythtv-users] Questions about udev and /dev/video* ...

Hi...

Know this is a mythtv and not a udev list, but was wondering if any had 
and already solved this problem on their mythtv box?...

I have a PVR250 NTSC and KWorld 110 ATSC tuner in my mythtv box.  The 
PVR250 had a tendency to boot up with different /dev/video* names.  So, 
I used a udev rule to create a permanent device name and link it to the 
/dev/video* device.  The problem is that the created permanent device 
name links to the wrong device.  For instance, I will find /dev/pvr250 
linked to /dev/video24 after boot up.  This doesn't work.  But if I 
manually remove /dev/pvr250 and re-link it to /dev/video0, all is well.

So, does anyone know why this is happening?

...thanks
