In general Nero Home does only work with DVB cards which support BDA and if the BDA driver is installed. Many manufacturers offer BDA drivers for their devices for the bundled software and a standard BDA driver which can be used with different software, also.

You should check if the device supports BDA and whether the BDA driver is installed.

Hybrid cards are not yet completely supported but these cards will be implemented soon as well.
