Foxtel 'digital' satellite uses NDS, Foxtel 'analogue' or original
satellite uses Irdeto. It is possible to make myth work with original
Foxtel, Irdeto CAM and a DVB-S card either the Hauppauge or the budget
CI cards.
If you don't have original Foxtel already though I don't think you'll
be able to purchase it anymore. There are no known CAMs available for
NDS.
