The only legitimate way to do it is via Composite/SVideo from an existing
Sky STB.

The Aurora card is for decoding some Australian Pay TV services and
doesn't apply to Sky.

Your other option is to look at using a SoftCam and card reader to decode
the Sky NDS data stream, but then you are starting to move out of the
legitimate space.
