That's correct, they started shipping the new cards a few weeks ago. I
bought a WinTV PCI FM two weeks ago and had to hunt through the
majority of Munich's computer shops in order to still get a bt878
model.

For added fun, AFAICT the packaging of the old and new models is
identical, you need to open it and look at the chip on the card. :-/

Cheers,
