Can I add a Nova-T alongside my existing PVFR-350?

[gEd]

My 350 is working just fine but I now want to add Freeview support.

Does anyone have any idea if adding a PCI Nova-T will work alongside the 350?

You should be able to. I cant see any reason why not.

I have a nova next to my pvr250 if that helps you.

Had a PVR350 first then added a PCI Nova-T alongside it without any problems. Record on both at the same time while watching something recorded earlier on the output of the PVR350.

impressive ! - thanks for the feedback everyone.

Does anyone have an opinion on whether the USB 2 Nova-T is better / worse than the PCI version in a gb-pvr system? I ask as I have a antec aria box which is pretty small and I am not 100% sure atm (without taking pc apart) if a nova-t card would fit comfortably between the pvr-350 and the graphics card (which has a Zalman passive heatsink on it)

cameluk: Does the 350 remote control the nova-t (or visa-versa)? Also does the nova allow you to access the freeview interactive features?

If I go for the PCI card, do I have to ensure it is an 90002 model?

I use the 45 button remote that came with the Nova-T to control GBPVR, with the receiver plugged into the PVR350 rather than plugged into the Nova-T.

The remote controls GBPVR rather than the card

No interactive available but thats down to GBPVR and not the card. Its not something that I ever use.

I believe either Nova-T card will work

I have my ATI video card next to my PVR350 which is next to the Nova-T as I only have 3 PCI slots, its tight and the PVR cards get warm but haven't had any problems. I wanted everything inside the box as there is already a massive spagetti of cables around the back of the PC
