The Lite does not have the analogue RCA inputs for capturing from VHS

The Avermedia AverTV DVB-T A771 card uses the Samsung tuner and MT352
Zarlink demodulator.  There have been numerous patches for this card
submitted to the DVB-T list over the past few months and it seems to be
working with no issues once all the patches are rounded up and applied
(the patches still don't seem to have been applied to the CVS, from all
the queries on this mailing list about how to get this card running.  I
cannot access the CVS from work to check it though sorry).

Other DVB-T cards available in Australia include:

The XPert DVB-T PCI card (and a USB model, based on the Dibcom reference design)
from KWorld ( http://www.kworld.com.tw/en/product/DVBT-PCI/DVBT-PCI.html ).

The Flyvideo FlyDVB-T PCI tuner (using a Philips silicon tuner/demodulator), which
doesn't have Linux support as yet.  http://www.lifeview.com.tw/html/products/internal_digital_tv/flydvbt.htm
