I bought a HD PVR 2 to try and add support myself, but ran into
show-stoppers. The HD PVR 2 model that is currently support is the "gamer
edition".  It does not support the S/PDIF input for audio.  It also does
not currently support AC3 via the HDMI input.  For me, both of those
shortcomings make it completely uninteresting to me.

I have reached out to Hauppauge and they have agreed to extend support to
the non-gamer-edition, but it is going to take time.  When they have it
working, I will work on adding support to MythTV, but that is also going to
take time.  Based on my research so far, I am guessing it will take over
200 hours to develop a solution.  Since I have a day job, the most I am
likely to put into it is ~6 hours per week.  You can do the math.
