I think the issue with this one, if I understand the reviews
correctly, is that it lacks any on-board amplifier. Given that the
Nova-T 500 is already receiving a much weaker signal than I get with a
standard freeview box (is that a driver issue?), I think this could be
a problem.

I'm getting the impression that there aren't a whole lot of choices
out there for DVB-T. I suppose I could also just use an older version
of the Linux kernel, but unlike others here, the Nova-T 500 wasn't
working very reliably for me under Ubuntu 7.10 either. It worked for
maybe a day. I had a cron task to reboot the machine in the middle of
the night, which was an ugly hack around that problem, and at least it
would record most programs. But the remote wouldn't last longer than a
few hours...

Any other suggestions for a DVB-T card that is known to work on the
current mythbuntu beta?
