I have never used this stick to watch TV but I can give some tips...
Be sure your stick is compatible with your country TV band. The sticks are not usable on all countries to watch TV.
Linux has already the driver integrated. OpenPlotter blacklist this driver to be used by the SDR software. So it should work on any Linux distribution.
FYI on OP v0.8.0 I have installed a VHF receiver on SDR-AIS tab and you will be able to listen to all the marine band and more... And I have installed a surprise and experimental feature too just to play
