    The foxtel dish will work just fine if the LNB is still in working order & is not so old that it's on the old band 11300. It needs to be 10700, it's written on the side of the LNB.

    As diavalo, said, he will need a VAST decoder with a travellers registration (it's free).

    The VAST cards are married to the boxes or cams. So they need to be purchased together.
    The following link covers the VAST decoders available.


    He could probably get one second hand on here or Gumtree.
    Cheers, Tiny
