There is the option (although not quite legal) of hooking a DVB-S card
to Dish Network sats. Not very practical since DN is taking
countermeasures that makes it a little cumbersome to keep the setup
working (changing keys, ECMs with fake keys, etc).

I guess it is ok if you actually pay for their service plugging the
sat to your myth backend instead of their receiver, but IANAL ;-)
