3 months ago, no, probably not.  Today, if you go with the exact hardware 
recommended in specific, detailed setup docs (A good place to start would 
be here:


Step-by-step guide to building a MythTV box under Red Hat Linux 9 with a 
Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250

http://pvrhw.goldfish.org/tiki-page.php?pageName=rh9pvr250&PHPSESSID=d9c531cba56f4ba99e5dcfb70e5aed52

you should be able to do it.  There is a link to my slightly older and now 
outdated doc that Jarod references around the section on getting the remote 
from the 250 working, and I detail my specific hardware, which is still 
working extremely well 3 months in.

Have a look at the docs in detail, and see if you are comfortable enough to 
give it a shot.
