Quoted straight from the site...

"EyeTV Netstream DTT has one quality setting, Lossless."

That means whatever you get broadcast from the source goes straight to 
the device it is being streamed to.  Broadcast H264 is a tossup whether 
it will be in a sufficiently limited format to be playable on the iPad.  
Broadcast MPEG2 is completely out of the question.  From what I gather, 
this limits you to UK Freesat broadcasts, and likely only the standard 
definition ones.

The HDHomeRun is a specific device, with a custom communications 
protocol.  MythTV uses libraries designed specifically to access that 
device.  The EyeTV tuner almost certainly uses a different protocol.  
Note that Elgato also sells HDHomeRuns independently for the North 
American market.
