Hi Bonne, I can't give you a definitive answer, but I live in Melbourne and I have two DVB-T cards that i can comment on; KWorld/VStream XPert DVB-T full height PCI single tuner only remote control (have not bothered to get it to work, but it can definitely enter numbers into the console like a keyboard) There appear to be at least three variants of this card, I think that they all work. MSI TV@nywhere A/D half height PCI (short bracket included in box) digital tuner plus analogue tuner (hence the name) plus FM tuner remote control (have not bothered to get it working) There are several different cards with very similar names. You will probably need to fiddle with it to get it to work properly. add "saa7134 card=94" to /etc/modprobe.preload and the default configuration for channel seven seems to be wrong. Some cards are smart enough to sort it out, this one isn't. When I work out where the master database is I will try to correct it. -- sig goes here...
