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.
