Yes, I have one of those and it has been good.  But what is delivered
now is actually a Nova TD-500.  The old version in that picture is no
longer made.  The new one has two aerial inputs for its "diversity"
function.  I found that I had occasional recording glitches until I
used a splitter and gave it two aerial inputs.  Since then the
performance has been excellent.  Both versions work fine with current
kernel/V4L.  There was one other version made, only for a short time,
and mostly delivered in the UK only.  It does not work with Linux, so
a little care is needed when getting second hand ones of these.  New
stock is all the new TD-500 version.
