That card is a digital TV card for terrestrial. Drivers can be found on www.linuxtv.org. This card is not supported out of the box and you can not use apps like xawtv or similar, as this is not a normal tv-card. I don't know how far the support for dvbin in mplayer is, i think that would be a good app to use this card, or if you have a dxr3 you can use the great vdr. There are two different sorts of digital tv cards. On one side the premium cards with an mpeg2-decoder onboard and as second the budget cards w/o such a decoder. The first one does provide v4l interface and a tv-out, vdr can be used out of the box with this. The second one needs software to decode the mpeg2 stream and does not provide a v4l interface. The dvbin patch for mplayer tries to be able to tune this card and decode the mpeg2 stream. There are other apps of course too. A problem may be to get a good channels.conf for your area. dvb-s (sat) is very wide spreaded, but dvb-t is in a lot areas very new. Further it depends on how many stations can be received digital in your area. I hope this helps you a bit. To make it short: with some efforts you will get great picture quality.But the nova is completly different to normal analog cards. Regards Steffen
