That's a mistake - I don't recall that table looking like that when I
was looking for one, and S2 is quite definitely not compatible with T2!
I can confirm that the 290e works out of the box with myth with very few
problems, however it's well out of production now and you might not be
after a USB device. I'm not sure anything else would work without some
hacking because last I heard myth doesn't do T2 the proper way using
DVBv5 yet, and afaik only the 290e driver has a fudge to allow T2 on v3.
