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

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

I talked to Hauppauge the other day and they are short on supply and the
reason Scan are probably saying the current model is discontined is
Hauppauge have a new model due out soon.  It will be cheaper and better
quality is all they would say.  I bought a card on Ebay in the end as I
could not find a UK supplier with any.  I wait the new model with
interest.
