    Mpeg2 Video in a .m2TS container, but with a transport stream container extension, Audio Mpeg 1 layer 2 (MP2). Basically as broadcast, a PVR streams the digital data as is, but may encrypt it as it saves the data stream to hard disk.

    No experience with iTunes, mpeg2 is a very common codec, used on DVD's for instance so would be surprised if you can't use as is. You may have to losslessly change the contsainer.

    Quick Google search found this
