Not really. What you could consider is to get another 9865, which is pretty fast. They can be had for very little ($50 or less) on places like Kijiji, etc. I'm not sure if it can tie into WHPVR - you'd have to find a Rogers CSR who knows WHPVR, or whether you'd have to use the two separately, which may work for you.
Of course, eventually (in a year, or two, or three, no one knows) legacy digital cable will no longer be available with Rogers.
After doing a bit more research on this in older threads, other forums, etc. it should be possible to add a 9865 (or 4K box) to WHPVR - simply say it's "replacing" a 4642 that was there or "added" to the WHPVR setup. The difficult part is to find someone at Rogers who knows how to key in the correct codes to make it work as WHPVR.
Also, as mentioned above, Rogers may not be interesting in helping with a legacy digital TV setup since they want to entice people to migrate to IgniteTV.
If you're willing to risk purchasing a used 9865, here's a post listing the caveats.
Here's the WHPVR thread on Digital Home:
