udev issue - the cleanest solution is to write your own rules for DVB (and other) devices - the following page is a great introduction to udev and should get you sorted: http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php Essentially, create the rule for the DVB devices by coping the content of the existing udev rules file (which could get overwritten if udev is updated) and create a new rule file (with a filename that is alphanumerically less than the name of the main rules file) with the amended owner/group/permissions. These settings will then be applied everytime the machine starts. I created various groups (e.g. audio/video/lirc) when configuring my various udev devices and then add users to these groups when they require access.
