[mythtv-users] DVB-S in the UK

Hi All

I've been playing with the idea of adding a second tuner to my backend 
and was planning to put a DVB-T card in (probably a WinTV Nova). The 
reason I keep putting it off is that I need an antenna installing.

Since I currently have a Sky minidish with a Quad LNB which has two 
spare feeds on it I was wondering if I could get free content from that 
dish using a DVB-S card ? I know I won't get Sky's encrypted stuff but 
I'm not worried about that. The primary tuner in my box is a fully blown 
Sky subscription hooked into a PVR-250.

Is there anyone using DVB-S off a minidish in the UK ?

Cheers
Paul
