Looks like all/most of those are music channels, too.

Yup, that's what I figured.  Not interested in pirating tv, was just 
hoping there might be a way to get a pure digital signal into my myth box.

so basically, I'd need to find a different satellite to point the dish 
at, and buy my own receiver array to mount onto the dish.  Too much 
work.  heh.
