This is something that comes up quite a lot. As long as the tuner card is well 
supported with stable drivers in the kernel then there isn't an issue.

It's up to the software to support whatever is broadcast in NZ, the card 
itself doesn't care either way as it just passes the data on.

Note that I'm only talking about "budget" cards as these are mostly what are 
used these days.

So again in this instance all it really comes down to is; what cards are 
available easily locally with well supported drivers. Or, the inverse, if 
there are cards available locally that aren't supported or have bugs in the 
driver implementation that's possibly worth mentioning too.
