I have a TV wonder pro which works perfectly fine in myth.  The picture 
quality from a pvr150 is better, but not much (the TV wonder pro was 
better than the tuner in a couple of my TV's, but not all.)
Older TV wonders are supposed to use the brooktree chip, which is supported.
The TV wonder pro I got last year had a connexant chip, which also has 
V4L drivers and works in myth.  I didn't get it working along side my 
150 yet though; I loaned it to a friend who is trying get his feet wet 
building his own mythtv machine.  So I can't comment on how well they 
coexist - although in theory they should, and as soon as I get it back 
I'm going to work on it.
