I have two NOVA-Ts (different chipsets). Individually they both work
fine. When I put them both in together, my signal seemed seriously
degraded and MythTV seemed to get pretty confused (perhaps because it
could not tune the cards) - chaos ensued, myth fell apart, so I took out
one of the cards.
I haven't had the courage or time to try again yet - but this is
something that I shall need to do over the next couple of weeks. If
anyone can give me any pointers I would be very grateful.
The card installed at the moment gives 'Philips Semiconductors SAA7146'
via lspci - the other uses the Connexant chipset. They both seem to be
model '909' (but I thought that different chipset implied different
model no.).
I'd be interested to know what needed patching in the driver[s]/kernel
and what chipsets other people are running with. Somehow, I can't see
myself getting this working by christmas :-(
Perhaps if we all put our heads together we can figure this one out. The
Philips card is on loan (I was too pessimistic to buy one straight
away!). So I could go pick another Connexant based card if that helped
(only one driver to hack :-) ).

The

and
threw in the other one, now ... neither work! I'll look into it more but
just
wondered if there was any obvious no-nos?

Ps, although I get FE_HAS_LOCK ok from tzap, mplayer doesn't display
anything or give me anything meaningful to work from (other than
something
about working on 2 steams(?))

Err, it really was as simple as throwing both cards in for me! Sorry,
but yes a pair of Nova-t cards do definately work. When I got it
working the drivers needed modifications and I had to hack the kernel,
I've not dared upgrade to the recent kernel for fear of losing my TV
;)
Cheers, if there's anything you need from me, just ask.
