The problem isn't the UPNP server, it's the format your hdpvr is using for audio. The PS3's support formats are here: http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/video/filetypes.html

I don't have a HDPVR but I read that it outputs either AC3 or two channel AAC so it could be your recordings have AC3 sound (which is not supported for H.264) and that's why you're getting silence.

There's probably a way to get ffmpeg to mux in a new AAC audio track without messing up the existing one so you can have 5.1 for myth and stereo for the PS3.
