[mythtvnz] What DVB-T cards are people using in NZ?

This is why I opted to go for the hybrid cards like the HVR4000 or 
3000.  The HVR3000 ($119+GST) is price competitive with the SkyStar2.
I have the benefit of stable DVB-S/mpeg2, and when support for NZ's type 
of HD is stable (and when I have a nice new shiny HDTV :-) ), I'll 
switch to DVB-T. 
I suspect (and may be wrong) that if the support for the above cards is 
only just there, (i.e not even in the mainstream kernel) support for 
PCI-E DVB cards is a long way off.

My thanks to Steve, Craig and others for their work collaborating with 
developers to make Mythtv & MPlayer work with NZ DVB-T
