I haven't had a single problem with my Nova-T 500 for at least a year.<br>

I bet you don't use EIT, they are ok now the drivers are better settled but I like systems that run without any attention or special care. Of the many friends and acquaintances that have MythTV I hear the most moans from NovaT500 and other USB stick users, especially if they have marginal signal strength.<br>
<br>
I've had two people ask me why I recommended it to them!<br>
<br>
Now it sounds like I'll be able to recommend something else, might order one this week, the only remaining slot in my MythTV server is PCIe x1. I suspect the Nova T 500 will behave if something else takes on EIT duties.<br>

I do agree though that the T500 is not the most 'sensitive' of tuner cards and does not like anything but a perfect signal.</div>
