Hi Alan, OK, all sorted now.
When I pulled the cover back this evening, I'd forgot that I left the little cable I'd used between the adaptor and the motherboard connected at the adaptor end :-( This no doubt would have been picking up noise, which is probably what caused those 'spikes' to be logged in the initial debug output. After further messing about, it also turned out that the connection between the adaptors and the onboard USB was no good,.. why dunno ?? I've connected the external USB cables and all is now good. I've now also put in the 2nd DVICO I had, so now all 4 tuners are working, well recognised at least. Onward we go,.... lspci output.. both PCI tuners there.
