I'd lean towards a card with the Zarlink tuner/demodulator with the
enhanced autoscanning capabilities. The STV0299B on the NOVA-S can only
autodetect the FEC rate, but not the symbol rate like the Zarlink can.

I'm not exactly sure which card(s) the Zarlink is on, though, and how good
it is otherwise.
