Of course. 
The WinTV-NOVA does not have video decoder hardware.
/dev/video and /dev/audio do not exist for it.

You will have to use a software MPEG decoder.
But there is no single application yet which will support tuning and
software decoding in one program.

Yes, if you write an application for it which sets the right
filters/network devices. 
What exactly is netsystem?

No idea. Ask the author.

Unicast should work with the current drivers and the setup program you
mentioned. I will probably support multicast next (as time permits).
