No problem :-)

The best place to start for mythtv would be the local mailing list
http://lists.ourshack.com/mailman/listinfo/mythtvnz
and
this site http://www.mythtv.co.nz/mythtv/ (though it's a bit dated now)

Rough summary is:
Yes, you can get program guides even for sky.
The reception options are:
DVB-T which is mostly HD (ie: UHF aerial) (Freeview but excludes sky)
DVB-S which is NOT HD (ie: satellite) (Freeview and sky)
From Sky box output (as the current Tivo v1) and you still need the IR blaster. (Very hard to do my MySky HD)
You can do any or all of the above, I do all three.

The easiest way to do it would be to use Mythbuntu and an Nvidia Video card (for VDPAU support, AKA HD hardware decoding).

Enjoy.
