I have the TBS6281 and have found that the drivers from TBS are a pain to
get co-existing at the same time with other kernel DVB drivers (e.g. my
Prof USB DVB-S2 device) and need re-installing after every kernel update.
Also, I think that the open source drivers do not support DVB-T2.

However, on the positive side once the driver is installed, the card is
stable.

I noticed than TBS680 is more sensitive than NOVA-T-500. I don't  know if 
TBS6281 is even better, I don't have technical specifications.

Thank you for your answers. Any information regarding the signal reception 
quality ?

I was also pondering Digital Devices Octopus NET (rack version suits me) 
http://www.digital-devices.eu/shop/en/networktuner/sets-und-bundles/208/dd-octopus-net-rack-ct2-dvbip-networktuner
This is expensive, but standalone with a webinterface, expandable (no kernel 
drivers on the VDR side, just the satip plugin which seems to be maintained).

DVB-T/T2 sensitivity is "-82.6 dBm at 16 - QAM & 3/4", which I can't compare to 
other cards (Nova-T-500 is only said to be "high sensitivity").

Is Digital Devices worth the cost ?
