Judging by the cost, I'd have to say no.

However, the specifications you didn't post seem to indicate a possibility, if not right away, sometime in the future.

TV format: NTSC, PAL, SECAM
Capture format: NTSC-M, NTSC Japan, PAL-B/G, PAL-D/K, PAL-I, PAL-M, PAL-N, SECAM-L/L, SECAM-B/H, SECAM-B/G, SECAM-D/K, and more (each tuner may not support all capture formats)
Video ADCs*2: 9-bit Video CMOS Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs), digitalized DVBS or Y / C signals are available

What I noticed is that it supports hardware Mpeg-2 encoding which is typically what is missing everytime someone asks this question. Unfortunately, the only person who could answer this truthfully is sub, or someone who is using this card.

No GB-PVR doesnt support this card.

That said, one of the users has developed a plugin for this type of capture card. You're welcome to try it, it might work for you. Some users have had success.

I am assuming the since the WinTV PVR 150 works then the 250 will as well?

[bluesxman]

Yes. The list of officially supported cards is on the home page of this website.
