I think you can use following kind of idea for allowing other users to 
connect to adapter 0.
Lets say you have user called "joe" and "fred" and you want to allow 
both of them to access DVD adapter.
Then you can create user group "dvbusers" and put both "joe" and "fred" 
to that group.

After that you can simply do following commands for allowing them to 
access dvb adapter0:
   cd /dev/dvb/adapter0
   chown -R joe:dvbusers *
