   There is a script on your system called "MAKEDEV".  As root, you can run 
this as follows:

cd /dev
MAKEDEV video0

That should do the trick I guess.  I haven't used redhat 7.2 so I don't know 
what kind of setup they're using.  Now you also need to check that the device 
driver for your tv tuner is being loaded.  Running the command "dmesg" and 
scrolling through the output might be useful.  You should find a message that 
it found your tv tuner and loaded the driver.
