I then created the 'HDPVR2.sh' file into the '/var/opt/nextpvr/scripts' directory.

Then that comes up as an extra device in NextPVR. I created the 'extras-hdpvr2.xml' file with 'extras' tag into the '/var/opt/nextpvr' directory (along with the main NextPVR config file), as per the Windows version of the wiki help. I intend to upgrade to a more recent computer in that rack (an HP 8300 USDT with 4 core i5-3470s processor - Linux Mint seems to like these so I have a couple extra), so this might be a path I could go down, otherwise I am probably looking at loading it with Windows 7. I do have a couple of these and use one connected to a sat tuner box on a regular basis, though using Windows XP and a much-outdated version of NextPVR on a HP DC7900 USDT with an E8400 Duocore processor. Could it be practical for one to compile and load the 'test' application in Linux for the Hauppauge HD-PVR2 on this platform?

There is a situation I have wondered about, though in typical fashion for me, I am probably the only one who ever thought of it. I have been using Linux Mint now for about 4 or 5 years and basically use it for all my internet-facing computers, so this is very interesting to me. Thanks to all involved for making this happen with Linux!
