I've used a 1.2 DVB-T Nova budget (!) card fine with current drivers / 
firmware and a full featured sat card for decoding (strong signal on sat 
card required so it doesn't ARM crash - but I'm hoping this will be fixed 
in the firmware / driver one of these days).

There appear to be issues with the full featured version of the DVB-T 1.2 
card but I don't think it has been established whether it's a problem with 
some of the cards or even a single card. Neither is there much info on 
whether it's a driver / firmware problem - which I guess is hard to test as 
the generally quite stable 0.9.4 drivers (they don't appear to mind 
reception errors or no signal too much) didn't support the full featured 
DVB-T card? Edward Wildgoose will know more about this, I'm sure.
