[mythtvnz] With a Skystar2 card is a Hauppauge PVR (or similar) card still necessary?

Ah OK thanks for clarifying. So would the set-up below be suitable?

If I wanted to be cheap and start out with one SkyStar card how trivial 
is it to select  channels  from both transponders from within MythTV. Do 
the source settings for the card need to be changed every time you want 
to switch capture from a TVNZ channel to a CanWest one?
