No, all works with the same LNB & dish, needs a different satellite  
card, newer drivers (S2API) and a different MythTV though, I have a  
Nova HD-S2 and a HVR-4000 for Myth 0.22 when it's ready. For UK TV on  
Astra at 28E you only need DVBS2 for Sky encrypted HD channels, BBC HD  
and ITV HD are DVBS well, at least for the moment they are, I'm  
crossing fingers that Myth 0.22 is out and stable by the time they  
switch to DVBS2.

There are some un-encrypted DVBS2 channels on Astra 1 19E and Hotbird  
13E

That's what happened to me, only one channel I wanted was affected and  
I only recorded something every other month from that, it was only  
when I did a fresh scan that I realised why I'd had the odd failed  
recording.
