Well it's all wired up and working with PiTubeDirect!
I had wired the 40 pin tube connector the wrong way, so odd pins 1-39 were swapped with even pins 2-40! Thankfully I had the multicolour 40 pin breakout cable in the piles of stuff so I could correct that. I then got this:
Which was a bit strange. Searching around the forum I found that having the led flash on the pi when break was pressed was a good sign, and someone had a similar garbage output and traced the problem to a dodgey 40 pin cable. So i checked all the connections and found a loose data line.
And with the Pi VDU
