Note, it takes an *UNENCRYPTED* HDMI connection.  There's no support for
HDCP like you'll find on nearly all STB's.

Of the two, the older HD -PVR would seem to be the best supported,

That's an understatement.

but there do seem to be different models numbers in each HD-PVR range.

There are very slight differences in the accessories and extras.  (e.g. the
Canadian model also comes with a manual in French which is not included in
the US version.)  Of course, this makes no difference for MythTV.

If you go with any of the square boxy units with straight sides, you'll be
fine.  The new one with pinched sides and the HDMI input is incompatible.
