Difficult to say.

The Nova-T 500 is a PCI card. It has a Via usb controller and the USB
dib0700 behing on the card.

As for the application, I do not think I have to enter X. I can check,
though.

I have my MythTV setup so that it doesn't grab the cards for good from
the get go. It will only get to them when it needs to record.

As it is a PCI card, that will be difficult.

I have though of that, hence the new download and the already provided
md5sum:
