Changes To Foxtel
 

So, what do you think of the new front end fr Foxtel IQ? I thought my box had gone on the blink when I turned it on today lol.

The best bit though, it seems that channel 7 is finally coming on board next week....I won't hold my breather mind you ;)

Looks the same to me? What's changed Chook?

Re: Changes To Foxtel
 

Colour scheme is different, and they've added new functionalilties. You can now continue to watch the channel you're viewing in a small screen whilst also using the planner and TV guide. You can sort the planner too, so you can find all episodes of the same show regardless of when they were recorded. Emmmm, I think you can look at the next few hours of viewing per channel on a whole screen. The Box office stuff has been tidied up a bit too. There's probably more, but that's all I can remember right now.

Well so you can! Shows you how much I use it.... 100 bucks a month and I watch about 3 hours of telly a week......

Re: Changes To Foxtel
 

Going off to play with mine!!

Re: Changes To Foxtel
 

You could catch some telly afterwards.....

Re: Changes To Foxtel
 

All looks the same to me, nothing different:confused::confused:

Re: Changes To Foxtel
 

Same here - nothing changed.

Re: Changes To Foxtel
 

I think the changes are being rolled out over a period of time! I set it to record a movie today and noticed there's a ne wbutton which allows the user to easily add 20 mins to the recording. Perfect for those pesky Ch9 shows which always start late!!! Maybe now I won't need to record the show after the one I actually want to view as well lol.

Yep mine has changed too, but I never lost 7.

If we had access to Foxtel I might still be paying for satellite. As it is, us poor country cousins are forever screwed by being forced to pay for the piss-poor Austar service. :(

Re: Changes To Foxtel
 

Mine only changed overnight (Friday), color scheme has changed plus it has this new video view function which allow you to view a small screen of what you currently are watching while being able to browse the menu at the same time.

I always have had channel 7 but don't have any of the new digital free to air channels.

Re: Changes To Foxtel
 

I think that's because the owner of Channel 7 has now bought up most of the Foxtel shares so he's got a vested interest now in getting it on there. But like you I'll believe it when it happens and I see it on the screen in front of me.

The 'On Demand' stuff this week is a load of bollocks including a load of rubbish about the Olympic build up as if we are interested...yawn.

Has anyone in WA noticed any updates? I can't see any.

Would be great to finally receive channel 7 and 9 via satellite. Last year there was a mention of at least one of these coming on to satellite in WA in the first quarter of 2009.

Not noticed anything in WA either, I know the colours went a bit funny last night for a while apart from that nothing :)
