[linux-dvb] Hauppauge Nova-T End of Life (Was 3.3v DVB-T Cards)

["Scott White" <scott-dvb@riskboys.com>]

Rats, just recieved the following from Scan after waiting more than 2
weeks for them to deliver my Hauppauge Nova-T cards

I need some 3.3v cards to get my project off the ground.  Does anybody
know what is going on with Hauppauge or can anyone recommend an
alternative that will work in a 3.3v slot.

Rgds

Scott White


Thankyou for your order from Scan. Unfortunately, the " Hauppauge Win/TV
Nova-T PCI
" is End Of Life .

You can select one of the following options:

1.  Choose an alternative.  A refund/debit will be processed wherever
necessary. We
suggest LN3178 Hauppauge NOVA-T USB

2. Cancellation and refund of the item in question.
