Hey
Anyone else with Foxtel Satellite connection having issues with channels 500, 503, 505 & 600?
Says No Signal due to bad weather or connection with a QR code displayed but there is no bad weather and sometimes the channel comes up bit its display is pixelated like a bad weather signal. Every other channel on Foxtel including other Fox Sports channels work fine.
Tried a reboot but still having issues with only these 4 channels
Yer I know but while I have a satellite connection I thought it would be better
Not sure why I can’t get these 4 channels atm, all my other channels work fine
The iQ4 box doesn't know if there is bad weather or not. All it knows is that the signal is bad, which could be caused by a lot of things. Usually it's bad weather (i.e. rain) but it could also be caused by the satellite dish moving, bad cables, issue with the LNB, tree blocking the signal or many other things. Can you check the signal quality on your channels?
Either way, Foxtel no longer provide support for satellite customers. If you have a problem, you will need to get a third party to check your setup.
Getting Foxtel via the internet is a more reliable way of receiving Foxtel. If you continue to have issues with these channels, then I would switch over to it.
Wouldn’t I have issues with all channels and not only these 4?
Can you still record via Ethernet connection?
I have IQ5
I don't know why only those 4 channels are affected.
Yes, you can record via internet.
Here's a YouTube video that describes how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iGhROLvNWY
@iguana: Yer I’ve looked into it thanks
I’ve heard watching sport on Fox sports like NRL etc isn’t as good as watching it on Satellite
@Twisty: You don't really have much of a choice do you? It's either that or nothing.
Why don't you switch over and see whether you're happy with the quality? Don't take my or anybody else's word for it.
@iguana: Well there is always Kayo but I also heard it’s not as good as it’s won by Foxtel so why would they make it as good and loose customers
Either way, Foxtel no longer provide support for satellite customers
Isn't this only for Adelaide, Perth and regional services?
Where did you see it only applied to those locations?
I can get 4chan just fine.
Should have the comment in gReEn TeXt.
Is that what the hacker known as 4chan does?
Foxtel Chan is just being kawa-ii.
Says No Signal
typical kuudere.
I clicked into this thinking you had an issue with an Asian person. Was about to call racist on this post.
So I finally had the time to connect my IQ5 box to IP only
Thanks for the help
The only difference I can notice is that the channels are a lot lower in volume compared to satellite connection
Switch over to internet. Your iQ4 and iQ5 box can receive all the Foxtel channels via the internet.
