I've a pinnacle 310i which have the same issue.

This bug seems to have been reported to Debian as well:

Dear all:

I can confirm the issue is solved when I apply a patch from Alex Volkov (see previous post) a Ubuntu kernel 2.6.38-11 :

> --- a/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134-input.c
> +++ b/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134-input.c
> @@ -821,6 +821,8 @@ void saa7134_probe_i2c_ir(struct saa7134_dev *dev)

> +

> case SAA7134_BOARD_PINNACLE_PCTV_110i:
> case SAA7134_BOARD_PINNACLE_PCTV_310i:

Now, my /proc/bus/input/devices contains the following:

> I: Bus=0018 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000
> N: Name="i2c IR (Pinnacle PCTV)"
> P: Phys=i2c-1/1-0047/ir0

> B: MSC=10

So, this issue is not related to udev, but it is a kernel bug.

This issue affects Pinnacle PCTV 110i and 310i.

Regards,

Vincent
