I've had some fun setting up udev to work with different usb storage
devices, and would strongly suggest that you do some searching to that
effect - there're some very good little articles written.
In summary, it appears necessary to create a file called local.rules in
the directory /etc/udev/rules.d
Here's mine:

I don't recall the full detail, but I had to dig through the /sys/bus/usb
hierarchy to get the proper ID information for the devices, and then add
the proper KERNEL, NAME and SYMLINK entries (you might not need a
symlink).
It might be that your DVB device is being created in /dev/v4l/dvb, in
which case, you might just need a line like the last one for alevt where
a SYMLINK in /dev is created with the proper GROUP.
That's as much as I can recall, except that the above does work!
I also found that I had to /etc/init.d/hotplug restart when testing
changes.
