Depends which version. :-)

The older bt8x8-based WinTV Go should work quite well, no issues at all. Not 
sure about the newer cx88-based one. Its one of the best-supported cards as 
far as the cx88 driver goes, but I don't have a clue how well it work with 
Myth, nor have I seem much feedback from anyone using any cx88 card 
(non-ivtv, non-DVB, non-HD-3000, anyhow). Some day, I'll have to dig my MSI 
TV at nywhere card back out... Nah, I'll stick to PVR-XX0 and HDTV capture 
cards. :-)
