Foxtel IQ2
With the new announcements of the Foxtel HD+ pricing, it has convinced me to get the new IQ2.

I have been reading about it for a while, and since I have been on a standard box, I think IQ2 is next on the agenda. So I’ve ordered the box and they’ve scheduled an appointment on the 20th June for the upgrade.

It comes with all local Free to Air channels with HD - as well as a few selected channels that are already broadcasting in HD. This includes ESPN, FoxSports, Discovery, BBC and National Geographic.

Sure, those channels are the least that I watch, but given that I am already on the platinum package, I can simply add $25 to the monthly package and get a new box with the above packages - and have 2 free movies HD movies per month.

On top of that, (once Foxtel sets it up in the future) I can get ‘On Demand’ via the Ethernet port through my Bigpond cable.

The downside is that I apparently need to have a phone line in order to use the On Demand movies - which doesn’t bother me too much.

I have pictured myself in front of the tele all weekend after the 20th June.

Share and Enjoy:
