OK. What does the Nova Card the do :

Will it record FTA ? and can I then watch PW at the same time ?

Can it scan the EPG on all channels to keep EPG up-to-date ? If yes do I
need to configure that specially ?

If I am watching TV and not recording will the NOVA then get the Stream an
pas it to the DVB-S for output ?

Are there other benefits ?


What benefits do I have if I get an DVB-S instead ?

If I use an full featured Card als second then I have understood that i put
the CA on the Second Card. This means that I still can not record and Watch
different PW programs (exept if they are on the same stream - but that is
also possible with 1 card). So what does it bring me which I dont get with a
NOVA ?

What benefit do I have from 3 cards like Klaus has got ?

OK so if I want to go the easy way I will use an DVB-S as Primary ;)
