Yup; I use a couple of Nova-Ts in my MythTV box. I wish they could cope

Ah, that's them ruled out of my mythtv box then, I have an unknown dvb USB
thing attached to a windows box and that can't pick up many channels while
my cheap set-top box can pick up a full complement even in bad weather.

The Nova-T does fairly well, I suppose, considering I have a communal
aerial shared with five other properties and I personally have connected
via a 4-way amplifier:

- a VCR looped through to the TV
- a DVB STB
- an FM tuner
- two Nova-T DVB cards

Of all the multiplexes, only the one carrying Film Four tends to drop out,
which it does on my STB also (albeit somewhat less frequently).

Best Regards,
Alex.
