If you intend to actively participate in the mailing list, do not use
digest email. It breaks threading.

You could take a look at NessieDVB. It's a little dual DVB-S2 ARM box
that speaks the Linux vtuner protocol, so you could map its tuners on
your master backend as if they were locally connected.

MythTV does not play nicely with others. It expects dedicated access to
any hardware it has configured. It can't very well schedule recordings
if this requirement is not met. By default, it will lock access to all
tuners it has configured as soon as it starts, preventing other
applications from using them.
