ok thanks that clears things up a little bit, I just did a quick check 
of the four listed adapters
and all the devices seem to be there:

/dev/dvb/adapter1# dir
audio0  ca0  demux0  dvr0  frontend0  net0  osd0  video0
wuerg:/dev/dvb/adapter1# cd ..
wuerg:/dev/dvb# cd adapter2
wuerg:/dev/dvb/adapter2# dir
audio0  ca0  demux0  dvr0  frontend0  net0  osd0  video0
wuerg:/dev/dvb/adapter2# cd ..
wuerg:/dev/dvb# cd adapter3
wuerg:/dev/dvb/adapter3# dir
audio0  ca0  demux0  dvr0  frontend0  net0  osd0  video0
wuerg:/dev/dvb/adapter3# cd ..
wuerg:/dev/dvb#  cd adapter0
wuerg:/dev/dvb/adapter0# dir
audio0  ca0  demux0  dvr0  frontend0  net0  osd0  video0

perms should not be problem since I´m currently trying under root

but anyway I will rebuild the driver entries with the mentioned scripts, 
later today,
it might help.


Thanks a lot for your help.
