If you don't need it for analog external video-devices or 
up-to-4-pictures in KVDR (/dev/v4l/videoX gets it's picture from the 
MPEG-decoder) it's expensive to use full-featured cards and you can have 
ARM-crashes (the low-budgets do not have ARM nor Firmware!).

So it's only a question of CAMs as I didn't test the new Nova with CI.

Any experiences about that?
