It may not be directly compatible with myth due to it's unconventional functionality, there didn't seem to be any interest in myth devs supporting specifically it when asked either.

Once I switched to using the DVB modules from this tree:

proven very reliable. I don't use the CI options though, so I cannot
vouch for their ease of use or stability.
