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:

CI-add on to use cam:
