That would probably be an MATV installation (Master Antenna Television), see [Master Antenna TV Systems (Hospitals, Hotels, etc)](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/master-antenna-tv-systems-hospitals-hotels-etc/3566) for more info and examples. Basically, the motel receives Foxtel channels in a centralised location and use specialised equipment to inject the channels into the DVB signal.
