Thanks a lot for the feedback, not sure I'll be able to find the old 
Nova but I've emailed a couple of the vendors about their power 
requirement, but no news yet. The only one I'm sure that will not work 
are the Technisat cards, DVB-C/S/T require a 5V slot. Not sure if this 
applies to all B2C2 based boards.
