Actually I believe the GPL states that the source must be available to
anyone the product is distributed to, which is not the same as "publically
available". So unless you've bought a myPVR I don't believe you have a right
to ask for the modified source. Of course, if you have bought a myPVR you
can not only ask for the source but you can redistribute it without
restriction.
However, IANAL, so don't take my word for it.
Cheers,
Steve
