Foxtel use a different encryption (NDS I think) which you can't get a
CAM for. Austar use Irderto 2 which you can get a CAM for. There is also
Optus, but I don't know what encryption they use. The CAM plugs into the
CI socket on a DVB-S card. Hauppage do the Nova-S-CI which I use and has
a CI socket.
