The Nova-T 500 is supposed to be end of life.
In March 2008 the Australian importer said "The Nova 500 should  continue
for about another 3-4 months but will be replaced by the  HVR-2200

quoted

Are you sure that's the right replacement? The HVR-2200 doesn't do 2
digital decodes as far as I can tell.

Hi Paul

Yes it is 2 x Digital , 2 x Analogue Plus FM radio
I pulled the following spec from the importers' website:-

PCIe Card with full and half height mounting brackets provided.
True single PCIe slot design with single RF input for both tuners.
Dual digital SD/HD tuner.
Dual analogue tuner with hardware MPEG encoder.
FM Radio.
Australian Windows XP MCE and Windows Vista Ultimate (or higher) drivers
included.
Windows Vista S3 mode support.
1 x RF TV input to feed both DVB-T tuners
State-of-the-art technology (Silicon based tuner). / Super fast channel
switching.
Quality design and engineering that works!
Connections: RF Aerial, FM Aerial
High quality build, Built to last, 2 Year Warranty

HVR2200 is a cool new card, dual hybrid analog / digital........  but
Nova-TD-500 is *not* end of life -- the card is still available, and
there are still new Nova-TD-500 cards being made, and new drivers are
available in my bristol repository.  The new card (Nova-TD-500) is not
available on the market yet, but the driver is -- the card will be
supported long before people have it in their hands.
