No. It's to do with not having a "secure" channel between the browser and the screen because Linux doesn't subscribe to the theory that you let someone else tell you what you can and can't do.
I did get Foxtel in a Windows 8.1 VM on Linux, but that was just a perversity of nature.
Same as I can watch Foxtel on my iPad but I can't push it out the HDMI dongle. I can't watch it on an external display on my Wifes Macbook Air using Safari, but I can using Chrome. On my Macbook Pro I can push it anywhere using anything.
I just boot into MacOS when I want to watch Foxtel and accept they're a shower of bastards. Seriously, as soon as I can get unrestricted real-time access to F1 and MotoGP reliably elsewhere I'll be giving them the flick.
