Actually, you can network the physical tuners using minisatip or
tvheadend and SAT>IP protocol.  MythTV does not yet support doing
tuning using the SAT>IP protocol, but that might be coming in v30. But
I have been able to network my DVB-S2 tuners using minisatip and some
Python software I wrote to create the channel and iptv_channel table
entries I needed.  When I have some spare time, I am working on
generalising the Python a bit so that it will be able to be used by
other people too.  But I am not there yet.  Using minisatip allows me
to use the same tuners anywhere on my network, and also it does the
Sky TV decryption.
