Well...

The Nova-T worked very well on my 2.6.22 kernel.

Then the 2.6.24 kernel showed-up. (at least on my Ubuntu system, went
from Gutsy to Hardy). And the original disconnect issue came back.

The tuners get USB disconnects, at random (apparently, so far).

That makes the card very difficult to use.

Trust me, I used to recommend this card after 1 year of following the
development of the drivers closely, and documenting everything in the
linuxtv wiki, but today, i guess I should stop.

All that using a recent v4l-dvb tree.
