I have it working with the 2.6.8 kernel
To get it to compile I needed to get  CVS video4linux and dvb-kernel
If you google for '[linux-dvb] Re: Nova-T with Conexant '  you will find the 
post where I described the exact procedure. Unfortunately the linux-dvb 
mailing list seems to be offline at present.

As for 450PIII, I have not tried it, but do not see why it would not work. For 
DVB TV all the backend has to do is copy an 8MBps stream to the hard drive.
