And you break the cables when removing them ...

Two of my adapters (0 and 2) are broken, so I assumed everything was 
broken. I guess the bad cable means the TS isn't being seen.

So ...

1) I had to use media_build_experimental to get 
ngene/cxd2843/tda18212dd working on Digital Devices DVB C2/T2 V3 card 
and mini PCIe bridge.
2) The cables that Digital Devices use are more delicate than they look 
and I've broken one when removing it. I'll buy new ones.
3) w_scan doesn't detect DVBT2 channels on this h/w and seems to even 
find mention of them in frequency file confusing.

However, deleting the two bad tuners and getting mythtv to scan gets me 
all my SD and HD channels.

Time to buy new cables for 8.5€ and then pay nearly 14€ for shipping to 
UK. :-(
