While not a specific answer to your question, it is in a round-about
way.  A fella in an "I, Cringely" article (September 30, 2004) did get
it to work.  The article actually got me looking into doing something
similar with my neighbours, but C-Band dishes are hard to keep from
becoming eye sores.

[mythtv-users] C-Band Satellite with Myth?

2005-04-04 Thread Robert Denier
Has anyone setup myth to work with a C-band satellite system?  In some
ways the pictures on "ordinary" channels are better there, but then
a lot of channels have moved away from C-band.  The reason the pictures
are better, of course, is its an uncompressed signal, at least for the
older videocipher II encrypted channels.

By setup I mean you'd want the guide to work and myth to somehow handle
entering the channel data so the dish moves and all that.
