More from John.
Although the card described on the wiki and the card that I own both 
have the same name and have Fusion DVB-T Dual Express Rev:1.1 printed on 
the underside, they are not identical eg:-

Wiki Card  2x Xceive 3008ACQ      Mine 2x Xceive3028ACQ
Wiki Card  2x WJCE 6353               Mine 2x WJCE 6353
Wiki   Conexant Cx23885 -13Z        Mine Conexant Cx23885 -13Z
Wiki Card 28.636360 Kony 0703    Mine 28.636360 Kony 0741
Wiki Card 4.000000Kony 0703        Mine 4.000000Kony 0741
Wiki Card 0716Y 20.480                  Mine 0720Y 20.480

I presume that this explains the problems that I am having and that I 
will just have to wait until if/when this particular  version of the 
card is supported.
