This is pure speculation, but there does appear to be a dvb-t card 
available that supports a common interface slot. If your service 
provider can supply you with a CAM module (topup tv in the UK provide 
CAMs to subscribers on request for use in idtvs) then it *might* be 
possible to get the channels into mythtv. I think you'd be exploring 
uncharted territory though:
