Just out of interest (as I'm thinking I must be missing something), what 
does this do for a DVB card that isn't set up automatically? I've never 
had to manually install a driver for my Nova-T cards (to my knowledge), 
they just seem to work.

Excuse my ignorance. I'm generally interested, not trying to be dismissive.
