Hi , Both Foxtel and Austar now use systems that tie the card to the box they came with. In other words the cards do not work outside the system as far as I'm aware. Has been like that for a number of years.
Im not sure if I answered this here or some other place, the cam in the strong box wont handle the sig.for foxy or austy , I tried mine before we left home . It put up a pict. but fell in a hole there after. Just take the box with you so much easier..Dont ask dont tell........Bob
