I believe that Nova T cards have signal strength issues if the
amplifier is not used.<br>

<li><b>Very Important</b> Turn on the onboard amplifier or you will
get very poor signal strength. It is possible that this will cause you
to receive no signal at all due to the amplification of signal noise
regardless of signal quality.

<pre wrap="">I'm having some issues with my Nova T 500 card. I can scan and lock to
channels, but after a while they go jumbled and I get "error encountered
displaying video"
I suspect that it is a interference or signal strength issue.
I'm running the latest DVB source (it supports for my HVR4000 card).
Is 58% signal strength (from OSD) enough?
What are typical figures?
