Hi sr20lux,
I will give you the condensed answer rather than waffling on. In terms of wanting to learn how to program cards read in the sections titled wafers,pics codes etc and there are good threads pointing you in the right direction. With regards to getting foxtel via satellite the main option available is the Gamma/G2/ whitey card and there are hundreds of posts on this subject including what decoders to use how to set them up and how to mod them if required.
Best of luck.
P.S
Austech is a wealth of information but you have to read a bit to join the dots.
Cheers
