Same here on my test box - using a Nova-S Plus without any problems
(aside from getting the channels scanned and set up initially with
mythtv-setup). I'm also starting to look into the newer Nova HD S2
card for the new high definition (DVB-S2) satellite broadcasts.

The Technotrend S-1500 cards are also popular with MythTV satellite
users, as they have the CAM available to enable viewing of encrypted
channels.
