If I deliberately put in a wrong i2c address for the tuner (starts of at 0x12 and is reprogrammed to 0x80 in the usb version, which is what I've copied) then I get an error, so it can definitely see the tuner. And if I tune an incorrect frequency I never get lock or anything so I think that much is working. And my original post shows it can see a stream with no errors, and if I put the incorrect code rate in (eg 2_3 instead of 3_4) then it sees lots of errors. So suppose that the demux is what's wrong, how could I debug that further? Is there a block diagram somewhere that explains how the various dvb components feed into each other?
