I have a "WandTV" cheap $30 deal [1]. Some of them are AF9015/AF9035
chipset but mine was an EC168 chipset which is supported by an out of
tree driver (hopefully not for long, it's probably in mainline by
now).

Works once you've waited the 18 months for the driver to be written
and if you were lucky to get the right revision. I haven't got MythTV
to work with it but that's more of a user error issue I'm sure.
