Default Sky Box

Just packing everything up to go and I was wondering about the Sky Box...read on here that some people have Sky. But will it be a totally different box? Or can I just get a new card for it when I get there?
Help!
P.S. Need to know before Friday 21 May as everything goes then!

I can get Sky news and Sky racing on Foxtel. They supplied the digital set top box though for satellite.

I've seen other Sky channels in pubs, but they tend to have the "wacking great satellite dish" outside that stands about 15 foot tall.

Sky here is the delivery of horse, dog and cart racing for the TAB(bookies). Sky news is related to Sky news in the UK. Not sure if the box would work here as foxtel is cable. It may work with Austar.

Austar is the same equipment as Foxtel AFAIK. Part of the agreement with them is that they supply the box etc. My guess is that it wouldnt work out here anyway.
