[mythtv-users] will Nova-T 500 work?

[Leigh Porter]

Does anybody here know what the status of a real fix for this is?  
There is loads and loads of archived talk about the Nova-T 500 on  
various lists, but I have never found anything that actually details  
what causes these problems...

Is it being worked on or should all the Nova-T 500 users give up and  
get something else?
