I have read about said Foxtel PVR in either a PC mag, or the T3

If you mean pre-digital over satellite, that makes sense (it's still

If you mean pre-digital over cable, that's analogue and a DVB-S card

Newscrypt.

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
True, so very true.
But to use my PC to record the DVB-S stream, I would need to
decode/crack it, which would be seen as illegal I am sure. That is my
understanding of how to get Foxtel via the PC anyway. If there is a
different way, let me know, becuase I pay for Foxtel, and would love

Hi all,
Just wanted to know if any of the Aussies on the list were using
MythTV to view Pay TV using DVB-S ?
If so I'd be very keen on knowing what type of tuner cards, CAM
versions etc you are using.
Thanks,
Damien.

Only if you don't actually pay for the Pay TV. The original poster
didn't mention cracking anything did he ?
