[linux-dvb] Which DVB-T card has best reception characteristics (was: Visionplus DVB-T USB strange reception quality...)
OK,
With that said. I need a DVB-T device (PCI or USB) with the best reception
properties available on the market today. I don't really care what it costs.
I need it to work.
What is the best card on the market today?
- The Nova-T?
- The Twinhan magic box?
Please, I have a good outdoor antenna (+/- 16M above ground = +/-68M above
sea level), the Nokia 212T works fine.. I want so badly to build a DVB-T/S
based MythTV system... I just need to get free to air DVB-T working to get
started.
Thanks in advance!
Alwin

Currently the signal strength and the s-n-r is not calculated correctly.
Status, ber and unc are correct.

The Twinhan USB device has IMO the worst quality of all dibusb devices. I
also have the KWorld one and a DiBcom reference device, the reception
strength is much better.
