As I understand it the HDHR just passes the stream through with no
processing. Therefore the decoding requirements will be the same as
with a DVB-T card, and theres plenty about that in the archives of
this list. Also you will need the various patches for h264 paff
interlacing and he-aac audio. Which version of myth are you using?
