HDTV comes as pre-compresed MP2. To turn it into something else like
mp4 requires a highly CPU-intensive transcoding, something consumer
hardware could not do in real time, and even if it could, Mythtv doesn't
do that.
You can record your mp2s from your dvb.
I just wrote up an article to talk a bit about HDTV transmission and
the common misperception that we often hear, with people expecting it to
act like analog TV.

It's not quite finished yet, but what it says about atsc relates to dvb
too.
