[mythtvnz] HD DVB-T tuner card recommendation

[Kenneth Dixon]

Thanks for the info. 
I looked further into it and found the Hauppauge WinTV
Nova-T 500, which boasts dual dvb-t tuners one SD and one
HD. It is available in Aus, and I think the hd tuner is to
handle the increased bandwidth requirements of their full hd
(1080p), but Im not sure on this.
I shall investigate further.
