I don't see that support will be any different (I imagine one Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T USB Stick - DVB-T Digital freeview TV tuner stick is much like another...)

I got one of the £8 Kworld usb sticks (well box) from Scan and it works ok. Needed an extra entry in bda.ini, but the wiki shows how to add that.
Needs a big external aerial for me though.
