[mythtvnz] USB DVB-S

[criggie]

Maybe - it all comes down to effective linux drivers.
I got one of those cheap genius ones, and while it worked under XP, it 
needed significant CPU to drive.  A P4M was just not enough, and forget 
making it go in Linux.

Also Nick's friend will need to have his backend powered up and dish 
aimed whenever something's on which is to be recorded.

Nick - if he has a base then that might be a better place to locate a 
mythbox with capacious hard drive space.   Or maybe mythtv is the wrong 
tool for the job here.
