Welcome to FOXTEL iQ2
Thank you for choosing FOXTEL. This User Guide provides you with
instructions on how to use the FOXTEL iQ2 and remote control.
v The FOXTEL iQ2
The FOXTEL iQ2 receives digital information via cable or satellite,
decodes this information and sends it to your TV.
This includes all the FOXTEL services - from FOXTEL channels and the
FOXTEL guide, to ON DEMAND and FOXTEL Box Office.
As well as this, the FOXTEL iQ2 allows you to record and play back TV
programmes - allowing you to timeshift your favourite programmes
to a time when it is convenient for you to watch them! You can
even use the FOXTEL iQ2 to rewind or pause live TV - then resume
watching from the rewind or pause point and fast-forward to catch
up with live TV.
The FOXTEL iQ2 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 iQ2 or smartcard or if a major
software upgrade requires a reformat of the hard disk. If the hard
disk becomes full, older recordings may be lost if you have not used
the ‘Keep’ option to store them. Recordings cannot be transferred
between multiple FOXTEL iQ2 units. Individual programmes may
delete once the licence period has expired. All FOXTEL iQ2 functions
require a current FOXTEL subscription and connection to FOXTEL signal.
The FOXTEL iQ2 has an internal disk. It also has the ability to tune to 4
digital channels at once, which allows you to record two digital channels
while watching a different one, or while using an Active service such as
Sky News Active whilst On Demand uses the fourth tuner.
v Updates to FOXTEL iQ2
From time to time, the FOXTEL iQ2 may be updated. Updates will
usually occur automatically. You should not unplug the FOXTEL iQ2
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.
You should also keep the FOXTEL iQ2 plugged in order to receive ON
DEMAND downloads (for example FOXTEL Box Office HD movies).
v Getting in touch with FOXTEL
If you have any questions about your new FOXTEL service please call
