It's never a good idea to mix old and new modules for a subsystem (i.e. v4l-dvb) anyway. If you really want to try, I would suggest building as much of the v4l-dvb driver tree as possible and installing it. Since that won't upgrade the i2c_core module, it may not work at all in the end. However, I have done a lot of linux tv card driver development, and I wouldn't even bother to attempt it, though. Some lower effort, higher probability of success options for you would include: a) Installing Fedora 10 or 11 and reinstalling MythTV from the rpmfusion or ATrpms repos, or b) Buying a used PVR-150 on eBay or from some other source and installing it in your current system.
