You will need an IR blaster, the microsoft one is pretty good, and works seemlessly with XP MC or VMC.

Using one of the microsoft media centers + a TV guide service like free-epg you will get foxtel captured with little hassle.

I can't comment on third party recording software sorry.

Also note you will probably need to get the scart to s video cable to get the best possible capture to your 150.
