Well its an integral part of mythtv so I would assume so. However it is
presumably possible to compile mythtv without DVB support (although  why
would you?) I don't have my skystar in my knoppmythbox at present (one
pci slot occupied by PVR 150) but I can see that the DVB devices
/dev/dev/adaptor[0-3] are present. 

I'm pretty sure when i configured mythtv that the options for DVB cards
were present, although  useless to me at that point. 

if you want to save a download I will post you a cd of the latest
knoppmyth, you can buy me a beer sometime. Email me offlist with your
address.
