Recommendation for 3.3v PCI DVB-S card

Can anyone recommend a card that will go into a 3.3volt PCI slot (c.f. a
'normal' 5volt 32bit PCI slot). I want to shuffle motherboards around, and
don't have enough 32bit 5volt slots. Ideally, I'd prefer a card with kernel
support, 'budget' support (i.e. no onboard MPEG2 decode), a silicon tuner,
and dual tuner - but I don't expect to get all those features. Thanks,
Greg.

The Hauppauge Nova S Plus is keyed for both and I've had one running fine in
a PCI-X slot which are 3.3v only. It's also dirt cheap due to lack of
accelerated MPEG-2 decoding and works mint with any reasonably recent
kernel.

Jeremy,

Thanks for the follow-up. I looked at the Nova S but didn't find (or look
very hard for) a local source. I got a TT-budget S-1401 which is a universal
PCI card. I haven't plugged it in yet, but it looks like it meets most of my
requirements. It will be good not to have the big can based tuners.

I've started to capture some info about it if anyone is interested.

Ingram claim to have 6 Nova-S in stock.
