Yes, all recent (i.e. since mid 2003) Hauppauge Nova-T / TechnoTrend DVB-T
cards are Universal cards and thus work fine in 3.3V slots. I am sure of
this since G5 Macs all have only PCI-X slots (can only put 3.3V/Universal
cards into PCI-X) and I know of many people with G5 Macs using these
cards.

(which is, incidentally, the reason why the 5V-only pcHDTV PCI card does
not interest me)
