If you're still wondering if a Pundit-R will take a Celeron-D: mine's
running on a Celeron D 330.

I don't know about the WinTV PVR 150, but I've got a WinTV PVR 350 and
a WinTV Go in the Pundit-R. It will take you some time, lots of
perseverance and it will bring loads of frustration, but it fits :-)
