The HDHR (or any digital tuner) does not capture 'raw YUV'. It simply
pulls the transport stream out of the digital broadcast. The only thing
that would provide raw YUV would be a framegrabber.

The PVR150 outputs mpeg2 audio, while ATSC provides AC3 audio. The last
time I streamed video to my PS3, it supported m2a in both (PS) program
streams and (TS) transport streams, but AC3 only in transport streams.
Mythtranscode will only output a nuppelvideo file (unplayable), or a
program stream if you are running lossless. Now the compatible formats
list
(http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/video/filetypes.html)
claims that they now support AC3 within program streams, but you may
want to try re-multiplexing the output of mythtranscode back into a
transport stream (run ffmpeg with '-f mpegts'), and see if that fixes
your audio problems.
