IR codes for the box might be up to you to capture if equivalent codes don't already exist (Foxtel cable box maybe?).
As for guide data, we can make a new headend for you if needed. It might not even be needed if it is the same lineup as foxtel digital.
The Optus channel guide is not up on their website yet, so maybe you can go through the foxtel digital channel guide and see if there are any differences and let us know.
