99.9% sure you can't use any DVB-S card with Foxtel Digital (maybe with
Austar but not for long or for the free-to-air Asia satellites though I have
no experience there). Foxtel require a smartcard which is 'married' for
Foxtel's set top box. There's no smartcard reader for DVB-S cards for
Foxtel.

You need a valid subscription, set top box, IR blaster and *analog* capture
card.
