No idea if it works... ;-)

In Google try

"rgb to s-video converter" homebrew"

This one will likely do, but it seems a bit stale. The guy already admits the chip is hard to find.

I built one awhile back using the AD724 chip. It's got pretty much everything you need for NTSC or PAL... just need an external color subcarrier osc. The datasheet shows a crystal, but I've been toying with building a PLL to lock it to the horizontal frequency (to be more standards-compliant). Even without that, the crystal one works great for me as a very clear TVOUT. It'll take H and V sync in and combine for you.

Of course a video card and modeline that puts out interlaced, NTSC/PAL frequencies was required for me. For what you're doing, the sat receiver will hopefully be putting out 480i or 576i if you're in PAL-land. Biggest trouble is that it's an SMC component, but at least it's not super-fine pitch.
