Not trying to sell it but if you have come from the UK and had Sky over there, Foxtel is a must.

its a bittorrent website. you can download tv shows. www.uknova.co.uk is the website. you will need some bittorrent software, I use azureus, google it and download. You will need broadband and it took me a while to fart around with it getting it right. I now get all the shows from "home" that I like.

ps
if you go for foxtel MAKE them sign you up for a 6 month contract. OR they will sign you up for 2 years. they will try to tell you that you cant have it for 6 month but you can.

Thank god for that,Sky+ is about the only thing i'll miss when i get over.
How much would Foxtel IQ installation and full package cost per month?

Cant help you with how much i costs .Different offers at different times .Sure there is a web site somewhere with costs .
A word of advice though . If going into a rental,see if is available. If its not available by cable ,will the owners allow a satellite to be fitted.
Just something we have come across.

for this the kids have foxtel upsatirs and we have IQ downstairs
we can record they cannot, two boxes means that you can watch different things in different rooms

Think unlike UK if you stop your subscription you don't get any channels where in UK you still got sky news + CNN so worth having the box anyway.
