i was looking into something like this myself. what i discovered was that to have a truley integrated HTPC i would need a PCI satellite tuner card that had a CAM and supported the current encryption that foxtel is using. This way, i wouldn't even need an external STB, i could just whack my providers smart card into the back of my HTPC.
the problem... this card im looking for doesn't seem to exist
so i went for tivo and will wait till the HTPC thing is more matured.
my .02
its not that im lazy, its that i just dont care
