You can then watch them at anytime. It is free and I have used a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can record FTA shows like v8 supercars and rugby.It is HEAPS better than any PVR as you can record 2 fox shows while watching a recorded program. it is great to fast forward at 30x to get through the ads in 4 seconds.If you have Foxtel, YOU WILL LOVE IQ.

But they said if I was a new customer they could do it for free.....even though they dont have any boxes available atm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flukey Seriously Flukey Member Donating Members 4,354 Member For: 20y 7m 19d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 17/09/07 07:45 AM Share Posted 17/09/07 07:45 AM Off topic but relevant:What do you guys use to distribute Foxtel to multiple outlets?I have wired 3 points for Foxtel but dont want to spend another $20/month per box. ( I already spend $100/month )I know there are some systems that use the TV aerial cabling and say channel 46 but I have hard-wired connection from the main Foxtel entry point to other rooms in the house.Thoughts?
