Hi Adam,

   I have an older Nova-S in my PC and it works fine, I think as long as
the DVB-S tuner chip is the same then it should work fine. I think the
only difference is that you have the extra video inputs on the plus
model.

It says on the link above that the 794 has been supported since 2005. Mine
worked straight away in Fedora 10 without on configuration. What results
or you getting and which distribution are you running ?
