Myth's MHEG5 decoding isn't yet usable on the DVB-S streams broadcast by 
FreeSat.  Also, you need the SVN trunk to get at the programme guide data. 
(However, the SVN trunk is extremely unstable for me at the moment). 
Other than that, DVB-S is fine.

This is completely untrue I'm afraid - there are probably over 100 
multiplexes being broadcast from the 28.2E/28.5E cluster.
