K, Now I understand that the new better /dev wont work with mythTv but
could someone please tell me why it wont work with mythtv. I would
rather keep my current /dev filesystem and fix mythtv than change my
configuration. I am one of those people that doesn't like a lot of
dependencies. I am willing to fix mythtv if someone can explain to me
why it doesn't work.

If the above is not acceptable to you, then I would invite anyone else on this list to jump in and offer some alternatives. Please don't hesitate to correct me if I am wrong as well :)
