It took me a while to find this, but this is from a discussion on the
silicondust forums.  I think it has since aged and been deleted, but
I found it in a google cache.

Specific points:

>The HDHomeRun supports arbitrary PID filters - no problem streaming multiple sub-channels at once.

>There is no technical reason why it wouldn't work, the HDHR supports it, we just need someone to write the code!


Also, the following is from the mythtv wiki:

I just wish to know what I could do to support an effort to bring
mulltirec support for the HDHR to MythTV, except for writing the code
which is simply beyond my abilities.
