you're missing http://linuxtv.org/dvb/dvbrouter.tar.gz, yes, you 
can't see it on the website but it's there.
inside you find dvbd, it's the dvb-daemon that does the reception of 
the satellitepackets. you find a dvbd.conf. put it in /etc and modify 
it to your needs, i'm using transponder 103 because my dvbd refuses 
to connect to transponder 114 without any error message, it simply 
doesnt't work.
you start dvbd as it is as console action with output or, in ip-up 
script at best, as dvbd -d in daemon mode, don't forget to kill him 
when your ppp-connection is down as he doesn't know the new ipnumber 
when you reconnect, if you have a dialup connection.
now ping the corresponding proxy of the transponder you have choosen.
