Milos - people are assuming you are in the US - I'm guessing you are the
Czech republic given your email address.  It might help if you say what HD
signal you want to capture.  Here in the UK - to capture the BBC HD
transmission you 'just' need a DVB-S card - and it tunes the same as any
regular channel (decoding and playing back the captured H.264 file in
realtime is another story all together).  I believe much of the rest of
Europe (and Sky HD) use DVB-S2.  The SkystarHD is a S2 card which is what
I'm assuming you are referring to.  If you have a Linux driver for it - it's
plug and play with Myth.  If not - don't know what to do.  When I looked at
DVB-S2 a few months ago, Linux support was still pretty scarce.  I'd take a
look at http://www.linuxtv.org/ to determine the status of Linux support.
