Well, I have that setup working partially (I'm currently using VDR for DVB-S 
and MythTV for DVB-T) here in Spain.

What's stopping me to switch from VDR to MythTV also for D+ is the fact that I 
still have to figure out how to use my D+ subscription card with my phoenix 
card reader (I don't own a CA adapter and neither I do have a seca2 
compatible ci module).

Anyways, It shouldn't be that hard if you have the ci module (aston for 
example) and the subscription card.

First of all you have to add a capture card using mythtv-setup (2. Capture 
Cards), then just add a Video Source (this will be your xmltv channel info 
source) and finally connect the Capture Card to the Video Source.

When you are done, take the channel listing (get it from lyngsat.com) and 
start to add channels, since mythtv won't add them for you.

I know this is a really short guide, but it's really hard to explain 
everything, step by step... If you get stuck at some point, just write again, 
and we'll try to help.
