My /dev/video0 is TV card, webcam is /dev/vido1. How do I make conversation to use /dev/vido1?

This is the solution I found (as root, or use sudo):

mv /dev/video0 /dev/video2 mv /dev/video1 /dev/video0

and optionally

mv /dev/video2 /dev/video1

Downside is that you have to do this after every reboot.
