AFAIK, Telstra in Aussie transmit on the Optus satellite. I think they've changed the system to digital over there - however that could be to our advantage as Sky here use the same system and same satellite so anyone who has Sky Digital should be able to get to the satellite which controls the signal.
In theory what it should take is an ability to find the channel on the Optus satellite and decode/descramble the signal.
There is a bit on the net about doing this on BSkyB in the UK - I recall my cousin used to have an old laptop connected to his (disconnected) BSkyB disk descrambling the signal on the fly.
As far as legalities I'm not a lawyer - it's definitely not ethical - can you claim ownership of electronic digital data that's thrown out into the air? Probably they could do you for unauthorised possession of decoding software.
It must be able to be done though. Pity I've got Saturn Cable Sky - no show there...
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
