Possibly. On the DVB wiki
(http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-S-Plus) there
are reports of problems on 2.6.22.14, which is a _later_ than the one
on my test machine. I guess the only real answer is try it on the
distro you want, and see how it goes. It definitely does work though,
and has been supported since 2006.
