The new hauppauge units don't have linux support, but I've
been using my (older model) hauppauge 1212 HD-PVR to capture
protected programs off my TiVo (component video connection,
so no encryption) for a few weeks. It is a little flaky
(a lot flaky till I updated the firmware), but it seems
to mostly work OK.

You shouldn't have a problem "just playing" a home-burn Blu-Ray
(at least if you install all the mplayer bits from rpmfusion),
commercial DRM protected ones, I don't know about.
