I guess that the Fedora/Red Hat guys do care a lot about stability and 
as the DVB drivers seems to be in a real flux right now it is not an 
option to include it in the distribution right now.

Sure, no problem. Here is how it works for me now. I still get some 
warning about broken sysfs support of the DVB drivers but at least the 
device nodes get now created automatically.

Add this to /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions:
#-------------------------------
# DVB devices
dvb/*:$local:video:0660
dvb:$local:video:0660
dvb/adapter*:$local:video:0660

Create a new file /etc/udev/rules.d/06-dvd.rules containing:
KERNEL="dvb*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh %k", NAME="%c"

Create a new file /etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh containing:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/echo $1 | /bin/sed -e 
's,dvb\([0-9]\)\.\([^0-9]*\)\([0-9]\),dvb/adapter\1/\2\3,'

make dvb.sh executable using chmod 755 dvb.sh

Best regards,
Bernd.
