Foxtel IQ
 

Can someone answer for me, with foxtel IQ, can you record 7,9 and 10 or not?
Different people seem to say different things.

Thanks :D

9 and 10 only. 7 is not on Foxtel, but apparently will be later this year.

If you plan to use IQ to record them make sure you configure the system to record an additional 10 mins at the end of each recording as the schedules often overrun between 5-10 mins on Australian Terrestrial channels.

Does it depend on where you live? Someone was telling hubbie today that they don't get any of those 3 channels on foxtel.

Re: Foxtel IQ
 

Not on my box it doesn't. Doesn't it depend on whether you have the cable version? I didn't think 9 and 10 were streamed from satellite? 7 will be later this year when new space junk launched.

We are in Perth and dont have any of those 3 on our foxtel IQ.

Interesting. OK for the record, I am in Melbourne and get Foxtel into an IQ2 box via satellite

Re: Foxtel IQ
 

Now that it is interesting. Surely it must be the same satellite? Even geo stationary would "reach" across the Nullabor wouldn't it? (Based on UK where Astra1D could be "seen" over most of Western Europe even though you weren't supposed to look!)
I'd even be happy with Melbourne feeds - might get some decent news rather the cr@p we get here!

Re: Foxtel IQ
 

it does, i believe, depend if you are getting your Foxtel via cable or satellite.

in South Yarra, Melbourne i get my Foxtel via cable and i get all the fta channels and am able to record them all.

not that there is anything worth recording, but that is another discussion...

Re: Foxtel IQ
 

Aye? 7's on my foxtel :confused:.

Now look what you've done I'm watching the flaming rich list :unsure:

Re: Foxtel IQ
 

Wow, this is getting confusing. Do they tell you when you sign up if you will or won't get those channels?

Re: Foxtel IQ
 

I guess the answer would be to ring them and ask? Obviously it is dependant on where you are.

Re: Foxtel IQ
 

If there is cable in your street you will get 7 9 10 on foxtel but if you have to have a Satellite install then you wont.

Re: Foxtel IQ
 

Ah! maybe as I'm on cable

Re: Foxtel IQ
 

We have satellite Foxtel (just outside Brisbane) and we get channel 9 & 10 on our system. This means we can tape them just like any other program.

The only thing we don't get through Foxtel is Channel 7, we can still get it through the free to air by pushing a few buttons on the tv. Unfortunately though it can't be taped since it's not going through the Foxtel box.

So, it really depends if you're satellite or cable with Foxtel. I believe it also depends on where you are. I have read that Channel 7 will soon be coming to satellite for those that don't have it already.

Like Pommy Dave we get all the free to air channels through our foxtel IQ and just good old plain foxtel.

I believe that it depends (here in Melbourne) whether you get your service through cable or satellite- we get ours via cable.
