    I have just put in a HTPC, Zotac Ion mb, and want to add the above.
    What are my options. Using Ubuntu 10.10 with XBMC

    I use the Hauppauge Nova-T Stick on Ubuntu 11.04 (used to have 10.10) and it works well. Getting all Soarview DTT channels including RTE2-HD.

    I am using Mythtv though, and until XBMC-PVR comes out, the support for TV from XBMC is limited. You can use the XBMC plug-in from this thread for live TV though.

    Will be looking for a good DVB-S2 card for Ubuntu too, so let us know if you get a good one.

    I separated my backend from the HTPC. Makes it easier to deal with cards and dongles ;)
