Things to note when you install your own satellite dish and card:
1) Make sure you understand the LNB requirements for your satellite.  I
needed to skew mine on the dish by 45 degrees - wasted a lot of time getting
odd results from a vertically mounted LNB
2) Understand your LNB specs.  Mine had a 11300Mhz LSOF, which needed
allowance for when szapping, scanning and in VDR

My system:
Fedora 13 on a dual core intel platform.
combination of DVB-C (TT-1501 and TT-2300), PVR-500 and DVB-S (dm1105 based
and TT-1401) cards
Used on New Zealand cable TV, Freeview TV and Sky TV

my most recent fixes:
Use the '-r' switch in szap, to set the front end up for TS recording.
Use the '-l 11300' in szap to configure for the LNB
Use diseqc.conf file and "setup>LNB>DiSeqc ON" in VDR to set the LNB
settings
