[mythtv-users] Aver DVB-T or Nova DVB-T?

I've just been looking over the AVER DVB-t card and whilst I initally
got excited because it appears to have s-video and composite inputs as
well, there is no audio connector. It seems aver expect you to connect
sound inputs directly to the sound card. I know this is common with Aver
as the TV-Studio has a loopback cable, but was also analogue. I have no
idea what chips are on the card so I wonder if only the DVB input is
mpeg2 and the others are analogue. It would make some sense if you think
about it. I'm also going to go out on a limb here and guess there are no
drivers yet for the Aver DVB-t yet, making it in the short term a lot
less appealing to anyone who doesn't have great programming skill. Does
any one else think there might be audio sync problems with this card
when using the non RF inputs?
