They are both available yesterday, and are now.

The 2nd link is not specific to the WinTV USB tuner, but talks about
firmware in general and how to use kaffeine to watch digital (DVB) TV.

The 1st link is specific to the WinTV USB tuners. But be warned that
some manufacturers, including Hauppauge, use the same product name for
different chipsets. For example:
	http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices

Lastly you could try entering "linux" and the model number (not just
the name) into Google.
