No, that's not the right way imho. Each time I reboot the machine, that 
device disapears and I have to recreate it.

I read lots of messages about that, and the latest I've found says to create 
a  /etc/udev/rules.d/06-dvb.rules file and to add the following lines:

KERNEL="dvb*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh %k", NAME="%c"
SYSFS{vendor}="0x109e", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh %k", NAME="video0" 

As the card is a Pinnacle Dv500, I changed the 0x109e to 0x104c, as it seems 
it's the vendor id of my card, but again, it's doesn't work ;-(
