Foxtel iQ Personal Digital Recorder

Easy to learn and even easier to use ; Pause and rewind functions work extremely well ; High quality recordings

Lack of all free to air channel information for the EPG undercuts convenience factor ; Why can't it automatically skip commercials

Its issues like these that prevent Foxtel iQ from being an automatic selection over set-top boxes with hard drives, Media Center PCs or even DVD recorders. If iQ offered these added benefits, then the steep price (considering there's no way to archive...

Mostly does what we bought it for, It costs enought so it should work

almost everythingg
