I have Dish Network and an HDPVR and I've had a few issues to work through, but since I figured it all out I've had good luck. Im capturing video via component for HD, s-video for SD, and audio over fiber (2.0 or 5.1 depending on channel). Its got a hardware H.264 encoder with AC3 audio. Not using Windows though. My backend is Mythtv 0.26 on Debian Wheezy.

@Aubrien: Wouldn't using a HDPVR require you to also use an IR blaster? (Sorry if this seams a little strange, if my memory serves me correct as to what a HDPVR is. I may be stating the obvious)
