You could use an analogue capture card connected to the composite 
connections on the STB, and control the box with an IR Blaster, this is 
how I record foxtel using myth.  You could most likely use shepherd to 
get your program data, thats if the channels are the same content as the 
Foxtel Channels - Havent checked if shepherd has options for FetchTV 
program data retrieval.
