I don't know why I'm bothering here but there you go.
I decided to do a test earlier on and I set up Plex and enabled Live TV and the DVR Function to record off my usual source of a Linux-based satellite box.
Once the guide data had populated I did three test records, one of a HD channel and two SD channels.
The SD shows recorded in the same "MPEG2VIDEO SDR" as the HDHomerun did but when I tried to play them in Jellyfin, they played first time without an issue.
This, for me, implies the issue is with the HDHomerun device. It was purchased brand new from Amazon so I don't think it's "faulty", just that there's clearly some kind of codec issue that causes Jellyfin to fall over when it tries to play anything back.
