I guess my fonts installation is somewhat hosed but I really have no idea.

Hello,
My vdrbox currently running with 2 Nexus cards. I plan to upgrade the box, for receiving several TVHD FTA channels (from SAT and TNT). At the end, I hope vdr could run with : - 1 x Technotrend S2-3200 HD - 1 x Nexus DVB-S (or 1 x Technotrend S2-3200 HD) - 1 x DVB-T double-tuner, TVHD compatible
I am very interested by PCI-E double-tuner cards, like "Cinergy 2400i DT", unfortunately there is no Linux driver yet, because PCI-E format. Then I've to choose one TVHD compatible double-tuner DVB-T in PCI format.
I found the Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T500 but I don't know if this card is TVHD compatible. Is it true that all budget DVB-T cards (ie without hardware MPEG2 or 4 embedded) are TVHD compatible (like S2-3200 HD for DVB-S) ?
Thanks for clarify this, and help me to buy the good card. If you know any other good card, please give me the link.

Well, I don't know about France, but here in Finland broadcasters are going to wait for DVB-T2 until adopting HDTV in a wider scale, which means that current DVB-T devices won't be able to receive future HD channels. There are no DVB-T2 cards available now--first models will probably arrive in 2009.
If you already have terrestrial HDTV channels running now, they are sent as DVB-T, and any budget DVB-T card (Nova-T 500 included) can receive them.

@igor and @nico,
Thanks for your responses.
In France, MPEG4 HDTV DVB-T will begin shortly (several weeks). I don't know yet if we will swap to DVB-T2 around 2009-2010 :-( Since I need two DVB-T tuners by vdrbox, I won't buy WinTV-HVR-4000, it will be too much expensive (env 190 € each in France !). It's better for me to choose a double tuner PCI DVB-T card. As any budget can receive DVB-T, even in HDTV mode, I plan to buy one of theses items :
Choice 1 : http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/ENG/products/DVBTdual4.aspx => unfortunately, I didn't find this hardware in Europe. "Where to buy" gives "glowlounge techno" in UK, "FNAC" and "Surcouf" in France, but none of theses has the card. Could you please confirm that there is no compatibility problem, with this model in France ? If someone know a reseller in Europe, please give as the link !
Choice 2 : http://www.hauppauge.fr/pages/products/data_nova-t-500.html => No problem to find this card in France, but I am not 100% shure that the hardware will be TVHD compliant. Hauppauge doesn't communicate about that, contrary to fusionhdtv.
@all, As usually, any comment will be appreciate.
Thanks.
