When I saw the picture of that box, I thought I had the exact clone (AKA
Strong 5116) with a duff power supply, however when I delved into it is
totally different and even though the Samsung tuner has a similar
number, which I thought may have acted as a replacement, the pin out
unfortunately looks to be entirely different.

The tuner difference is probably due to the fact that it has an integrated
RF modulator, and presumably the Matsui one doesn't?

That is correct, no modulator, just loop through

The sad thing is that a only few weeks ago I dumped half a dozen Bush
versions (they didn't appear to like the 8K muxs after DSO) with external
power supply, no RF modulator and same remote and menus .. I'd almost
guarantee that they would have used the same tuner, I see you put those
photos up in May, pity I didn't know back then.

Shouldn't that be drip through?

Some of those cheap tunerheads are easily saturated.
