Well I upgraded to kernel 2.6.10-rc1, got the bytesex patches and the LR6650 
is working extremely well on all channels, I reccomend this card as it's the 
easiest of the three to get up (no firmware!) and reception is as good as the 
nova-t if not better. (and they're going for 30 uk pounds on e-bay at the 
minute)
Unfortunately there are problems with the other cards!
The nova-t now can only be opened once, a second attempt to open the card 
fails with a firmware warning, I can work around this by telling myth to keep 
the card open, so it's not too much of a problem.

The Avermedia 761 won't work at all unfortunately, I just get a firmware 
warning every time I try to use it.

I've renamed the firmware to the new names and redownloaded both, but it makes 
no difference.

Oh well, I'm quite happy with two working cards (PIP :) and hopefully the 761 
will get fixed sometime. (or I'll work out wuts up.)
