Nova T 500 card, PCI/PCIe

[colinjones]

I have been working on the basis of using this card when I build a new core - totallymaxed recommended it - however, I have just realised that the mobo I was planning on using only has 1 PCI slot, plus a PCIe x1 and x16 slot. And I am going to need the PCI slot for the second NIC!

Does anybody know if there is an equivalent, working card that will go in a PCIe slot instead? Needs to be dual tuner, HD, and DVB of course, not ATSC. I've also looked for PCIe NIC cards, but that seems even harder to find!

Perhaps you could use a Terratec 1200 dual DVT-T instead of trying to find a PCIe networkcard that work in Linux.
Look at http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TerraTec_Cinergy_1200_DVB-T
This card cost 999kr in sweden which is about 110 euro. I don´t have one myself (have a nova-t 500) since I´m still evaluating how my core should be equipped.

I have some issues with my nova-t 500. I believe it is related to our dvb broadcasts here in sweden.

I´m in the same situation as you. Had to use a PCI gbit card (i use a ASUS M2VM-DH) since I could not find a PCIe card that worked in Linux.
Bought a ET1310 based card that have linux support according to the chip manufacturer, but it does not work in lmce0704
and not in mythbuntu 0710 which problably mean it won´t work out of the box with lmce0710 either.
After some investigation my conclusion is that many chip manufacturers support linux, but do not provide a driver available to other than oem partners.
