Just a quick note here.  Already gave Mike my feedback on this.

I have a pvrusb2 & hvr-1950 as well.

It seems, the pvrusb2 always gets /dev/video0 here when both devices are
connected.  Since it takes a little while for the firmware to load for
the hvr-1950 as well as DVB to initialize, the hvr1950 gets /dev/video1.

My hvr-1950 model version is "75111 LF, Rev. C3E9" which uses the
s5h1411 module for it's s5h1411.  The earlier hvr-1950's don't use the
s5h1411 chip from what I hear.  So this could also affect load times, as
well as other things. <shrugs>
