Thanks for the answer, I guess lns stands for low noise amplification?
At least that would make sense.

I've just found this on linuxtv.org (about the Nova T500):

PCI 2.2 card using 3.3V. Failed to run on PCI 2.1 system.

I'm just browsing the manual of my good old Asus A7V what PCI version it
features, but I fear that might be much too old for 2.2...

Surprise surprise, according to the manual it supports PCI 2.2.

Cool.

OK, So far that card looks to be the most promising card with twin DVB-T
support, and I guess I'll go fir it, unless someone knows a much better
card for me :)

Thanks again
