I haven't played with the PVR-testing branch builds for a long time, so I don't really know how far they've progressed with integrating the EPG & recording functions - sorry.
I got an Avermedia A850 DVB-T usb tuner. Easy to set up. You just stick a device chipset specific linux-compatible firmware file in a directory in your Linux setup, and it gets sent to the tuner hardware as the kernel detects it during startup.
Info is pretty thin on the ground for supported DVB-S/2 devices though, as you've discovered, so it's going to be lots of Google-Fu I suspect
In XBMCFreak's Dharma build TVHeadend source protocol is already integrated, so you just select "HTS TV Headend client" from the "Add network location" browse menu, and fill in the IP/host. You then get "htsp://127.0.0.1:9982", for example, added to your list of sources.
That gets treated as a virtual directory, and your detected channels are listed within as individual entries. No need to configure a separate URL for each.
