I am obviously not there yet.
I now have 4 adapters in /dev/dvb for the two cards that I have, and a for
instance
scan -a 2 /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/uk-CrystalPalace
fails thusly:-
scanning /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/uk-CrystalPalace
using '/dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter2/demux0'

Done.
tried unplugging one device, and I went down to two /dev/dvb/adapter2
and /dev/dvb/adapter3
but trying both adapters failed to provide results.
