Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T-500 support

[Thomas Kernen]

Hello,

According to the wiki entry for the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T-500 hardware:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-T-500

Models 289 and 287 are supported (ie: the UK sold cards), but model 283 
sold in Germany, Switzerland and maybe some other countries isn't.

Is this still an accurate statement or has this situation evolved but 
hasn't been updated in the wiki entry?

Regards,
Thomas

So I've tested a WinTV-NOVA-T-500 model 283 (SL-283-V2.0-GER) which 
according to the wiki isn't suppose to work:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-T-500

Anyhow, the revision I own, (WinTV-NOVA-T-500, 99101 LF, Rev D8B5) I 
seem to have no issues with support, no errors on loading the modules or 
tuning to the different DVB-T tuners. I'll go ahead and update the Wiki 
page to add a note that this revision actually does work and that the 
blanket statement claiming all model 283 are not supported.

Regards,
Thomas
