User guide

WELCOME

Thank you for choosing FOXTEL. This User Guide provides you with
instructions on how to use your FOXTEL iQ and remote control.
❖
Your FOXTEL iQ
Your FOXTEL iQ (FOXTEL Digital’s Personal Digital Recorder)
receives digital information via cable or satellite, decodes this
information and sends it to your TV.
This includes all the FOXTEL Digital services - from FOXTEL Digital
channels and the FOXTEL Digital guide, to FOXTEL Box Office and
FOXTEL Games.
As well as this, your FOXTEL iQ allows you to record and play back TV
programmes - allowing you to timeshift your favourite shows to a time
when it is convenient for you to watch them! You can even use your
FOXTEL iQ to rewind or pause live TV - then resume watching from
the rewind or pause point and fast-forward to catch up with live TV.
Your FOXTEL iQ is intended for timeshifting your viewing and not
permanent storage or an archive. Your recordings will be lost if a
hardware fault develops in the FOXTEL iQ or smartcard or if a major
software upgrade requires a reformat of the hard disk. Recordings
cannot be transferred between multiple FOXTEL iQ units. Individual
programmes may delete once the licence period has expired. All
FOXTEL iQ functions require a current FOXTEL Digital subscription.
Your FOXTEL iQ has an internal hard disk. It also has the ability to tune
to 2 digital channels at once, which allows you to record one digital
channel while watching a different one, or while using an Active service
such as Games.
❖
Updates to your FOXTEL iQ
From time to time, your FOXTEL iQ may be updated. Updates will
usually occur automatically. You should not unplug your FOXTEL iQ
from the power point, as this may affect the installation, and the
availability of any updates which may occur.
Updates provide enhanced features and new screens may become
available. Although any new screens may look a little different from
those described in this User Guide, you will be able to use the same
techniques (e.g. highlight and select) to navigate around the screens.
❖ Getting in touch with FOXTEL
If you have any questions about your new FOXTEL service please call
