If you say Y here, the DVB subsystem will use dynamic minor allocation for any device that uses the DVB major number. This means that you can have more than 4 of a single type of device (like demuxes and frontends) per adapter, but udev will be required to manage the device nodes.

If you are unsure about this, say N here.
