We have 9 there's only channel 7 missing here, which did say channel 7 would come in the spring here for a while but then they removed it quick and all went quite.

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.

I'm WA and updated my iQ2 about 4 weeks ago - mind you I forced the update as opposed to waiting for it to be sent. My iQ1 is not updated yet - might go and force that now!
Ch7 should be available for metro Perth from 15th. Will wait and see for regional.

There are two updates I'd like to see, all programmes start and finish at the times it states (which I know isn't a specific Foxtel problem but anyway..) and the 'big' channels actually use ****** series link.

Thanks - system is now updated with the new style and functionality.

Your instructions were actually a bit more accurate than the youtube video

Fantastic! I'm incredibly impatient and I've been following this thread hoping mine would update soon. I followed your instructions and there it is! Some well earned karma given!

I didn't see the video thing at first and discovered at the bottom of the screen you had to press a coloured button to get the view you want. I've since went into the main Foxtel settings and have changed it to have the video menu as a default. Works pretty good.

I do hope they fix up the series links and put Channel 7 on there soon.

Anyone know if we'll get the new Channel 7 (72) via Foxtel?

Awesome... I have forgotten the times I have missed the endings to CSI

I think i'm right in saying this, Channel 7 has always been available to those who recieve the signal via cable.
Those who have a dish have never been able to receive 7, until now.
I heard the Foxtel ceo on the radio talking about it.
