Thanks for the insights. As of /dev/video0 you are absolutely right:
It works. I just went ahead and tested it successfully. Hence as for
the drive your are correct as well. :-)

However, there is something else which I was referring to without
mentioning it. But this might actually not be a problem with pvrusb2
itself.

I am missing my DVB-Device completely. Neither /dev/dvb nor anything
similar are available. /sys/dvb is empty and dmesg does not mention it
at all. Someone else had an output like this:

[   21.405976] pvrusb2: registered device video1 [mpeg]
[   21.405980] DVB: registering new adapter (pvrusb2-dvb)

However, I could not find anything related to pvrusb2-dvb. Here are
the DVB-settings of my kernel:
