ls -l /dev/dvb* is only showing you the files in /dev that begin with dvb,  
namely the old link. Check ls -l /dev/dvb/ instead.

Also your 2nd rule has the wrong device id - use 0x8802 rather than  
0x08802.

I don't think the class attribute is much help - you might as well remove  
it. The attributes only serve to uniquely identify the card: vendor/device  
is a typical pattern but you might as well just use the device attribute  
alone.
