Scanning for free-to-air (FTA) satellite channels is supported within
mythtvsetup, and there is currently a now/next EPG available for DVB-S
channels. The 'proper' FreeSat EPG will hopefully be supported in the
future. You could use the tv_grab_uk_rt XMLTV grabber to get 14 days'
weorth of listings for the key FreeSat channels, but there are many
more viewable channels available (i.e. besides those included under
the FreeSat banner) than the uk_rt grabber currently has support for.

For a list of currently supported DVB-S devices, see
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-S_Devices. I'm using a Hauppauge
Nova-S Plus PCI card for testing, and it's working well.
