Great news, does it use a USB subsystem like the Nova T 500 or is it a  
"proper" tuner?

People keep asking me what's good to buy for MythTV and DVBT, I  
hesitate to recommend the Nova T 500 due to it's many problems, mostly  
usb related and the older Nova T is as deaf as a post. Would be great  
to have something small and modern and well behaved, maybe I'll  
replace my Nova T 500 although I should really wait for a DVBT2 card  
to appear.

Suits me, I have a drawer full of the things!
