If a Nova 500 TD does not work, I would not expect any other tuner to
be better.  Except maybe one that said it was "extra sensitive" or
something like that.  But the Nova 500 TD has the diversity option
that does that anyway if you plug an antenna into both inputs.

That is not my experience, so I am wondering why you are saying that.
All of my USB tuners seem to perform just as well as any other tuner,
when running Linux.  They do seem to perform less well with Vista.
