That's a great offer, thanks. But I haven't found a name it likes.

Here's what dmesg finds:

saa7134 0000:07:04.0: DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Philips 
TDA10046H DVB-T)...
usb 2-2: DVB: registering adapter 1 frontend 0 (Kworld UB499-2T 
T09(IT9137)_1)...
usb 2-2: DVB: registering adapter 2 frontend 0 (Kworld UB499-2T 
T09(IT9137)_2)...


modprobe  saa7134_dvb
modprobe dvb-usb-af9035
