In the name of the flying spaghetti monster.

You chances of getting a usefull reply would be greatly
improved if you stated some more information. Like the 
kind of DVB you are talking about.

Is it DVB-S(2)/C/T or ATCS ?

Are you sure you are looking for a PCMCIA (rather PC-Card/CadBus) 
card?

If your notebook is very new than you probably already 
have ExpressCard slots instead of PC-Card.

cheers

He's asking for DVB-T advice

He's asking for USB or PCMCIA - the point is good mentioning the new express standard

I would ask him how much he's ready to pay.

I was using one HVR900 (Haupauge but won't recommend it)

Now I'm using one Terratec T USB XXS

It's much better then the HVR900 one
+ it's supported 
+ it's smaller
+ costs in Austria about 38€
+ has remote control (also working)

- it's not in the main kernel code - as far as I understood it will be supported in 2.6.32 line
- it is sold with different prod IDs 0078 00ab which makes it necessary to touch the v4l-dvb code

regards

Ok. In that case I guess I can help a little.

I own five different DVB-T USB devices and depending on your priorities
I'd recommend

* For areas with weak reception: Fujitsu-Siemens DVB-T Mobile TV Tuner 
  (not the new "slim" version but the old clunky one)

* For USB 1.1 compatibility: Toshiba USB DVB-T Tuner PX1211E-1TVD
  (also sold under a lot of other names)

* For features and looks: TerraTec Cinergy XXS

Naturally my experience is limited to the devices I own and other devices
may be far better.

If you are interested in system load than I'd point you to my small load
