I use the svideo analog connection into the HVR2200 - not sure if being an
a PAL country matters for the non-DVB-T part of the card. The card
requires a hardware power cycle every few days hence looking for new
options that don't require shutting down the whole main house server.

I'd get another HVR2200 but they are like rocking horse manure these days
and the 2210/2215 don't have linux analog drivers (even the 2200 I had to
patch the kernel myself!). There is also the cost - NZ$230 and that's
likely to be a grey import.
