The broadcasts are coming from satellites, so you would want DVB-S2
tuners for that.  But since Tata Sky is a pay TV service, most
channels will be encrypted and you will not be able to record them
using MythTV directly.  If their decoder boxes have outputs you can
use, then you may be able to record by getting MythTV to use an IR
blaster to tell the decoder to change channels, and record from its
HDMI or component video output.  That is difficult to do, but there
are some people with MythTV setups like that.
