First, I don't think it is legal is it?It's entirely legal if you pay for the service and use a CAM module with the approriate smartcard. That's what CAM modules are for - they take the smartcards normally found in your decoder box and descramble the channels it is authorised for.
I think it can be done, but you need a beefy box to crack the foxtelMy understanding is that with Foxtel analogue, a DVB-S card with the right CAM module and the smartcard, Myth will quite happily work. Last I heard, Foxtel digital uses a different encoding method for which an appropriate CAM module is not yet available.
encoding, is the story I was told. I don't know much about it, I just
wish Foxtel gave us a legal way to record the video in MythTV, without
having to do IR blasters and the like. I always miss the discovery
channel shows.
As for the orginal poster, I don't know what hardware is required to receive Foxtel analogue. I have heard of people having success with it.
