MYSTAR – WHAT’S
ITALL ABOUT?
We also have all your favourite series, so MyStar ‘Series Link’ functionality means you can set up just one
recording and your MyStar will record the entire series - all future episodes recorded onto your MyStar for those
wet, stay-at-home weekends.
Record 2 programs at once
You want to watch the big game but your partner wants to watch a doco. With MyStar you can record both – and
watch the movie you recorded last night – all at the same time. So everyone’s happy.
One-touch recording
One remote, one record button, no videos scattered around the house – setting a recording on MyStar couldn’t
be easier. MyStar is completely integrated with your on screen TV Guide, so you can forget having to enter the
date, the channel, the start time and the end time to set a recording. Just go to your on-screen TV Guide, find
the show you want to record (which can be up to seven days away) and press the record button. After it’s been
recorded it’ll be waiting for you in your Planner.
Free-to-air (local channels) on MyStar
MyStar is one of the first set top boxes in the world to allow customers to watch and record both free-to-air and
subscription TV programs. So if you are currently able to view your local digital free-to-air channels* – with MyStar
they’ll now be seamlessly integrated with your Foxtel channels. No need to switch between Foxtel and your
regular TV.
*N.B. – Some customers may need to upgrade their free-to-air antenna to be able to view digital free-to-air
channels through MyStar. For details on how to upgrade, contact Foxtel Customer Service on 131 999.
HD channels on MyStar HD
With MyStar HD you can receive a range of Foxtel HD and free-to-air HD channels

. HD (High Definition) provides
improved sound and picture quality when combined with a high definition television set.
Your installer will ensure that the optimum picture/sound quality is achieved at installation, taking into account the
type of TV set you have.

N.B. – Access to HD FTA channels is dependent on the free-to-air networks providing HD channels in your local
region. If no HD free-to-air channels are currently broadcast, you will still be able to receive the standard
definitionequivalent.
