Its a bit difficult at the moment because I am in Portugal for a few days on 
business and my server is in the UK.  However I can ssh into it. 

Since I can't physically remove the tuners and plug them back in, I rebooted 
the machine (remotely), and when it came back up ssh into it again and 
reloaded the dvb-usb-dtt200u (with modprobe) and did a check of dmesg. 

Nothing of any significance (grep firm as suggested elsewhere did nothing, 
the only relevant message was dvb-usb-dtt200u registering itself with 
usbcore. 

A poke around /sys/bus/usb seems to find the devices (I have two plugged 
in).  Thats where I can see idVendor and idProduct numbers as 14aa and 0225 
respectively. 

Not sure what else I can give you at the moment.
