I would take it another way: If you live in europe and you have a sat dish that is able to receive digital, you have to think about a dvb-card. For cable and terristrial there are rare cases where you would like to have such a card (like in Berlin, germany where analog terrestrial will be switched off in near future (or is?)) On sat a nova+dxr3 or a premium TT card is worth the money (50+ mp2 (192-224 kbit) radiostations and the same for tv-station, hmmm its more I have nearby 300 stations in my channels.conf, further you have timeshift easy recording in great quality etc pp) , but dvb != analog and for the 20-30 programms (often only 10) i don't know if dvb-t is worth the money. If you have cable, you would need dvb-c and dvb-c is again incompatible with sky-tv. So if you want to have a DVR-machine dvb is great, for just a tv-card the nova-t is completly wrong and to expensive (even if the nova is cheaper then the big brother, the nexus(200¤ minimum).
