Well you're in a bit of a sticky one then.  Only One and TV2 (plus 
NasaTV and DWTV) are available via a DVB-S card (which you'd connect 
to the Sky Sat Dish via an aerial splitter).  You may want to get a 
PVR150  (or any analog card) and connect it via S-Video to your Sky 
Decoder.  That will get you One, TV2, TV3 and C4 and I think Prime.

So you may want to get a DVB-S and a PVR150 card.  Plus a IR Blaster 
so your Myth box can change the channel on the Sky box.
