Getting a "no signal" error, as are other people in the building.

gf is on the phone with them, and it sounds like it's not just our building.

anyone else having the same problem? (we're on cable, not satellite)

Our's is up. South of the city though and HD if it makes any difference.

OH NOES!!! YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SOCIALISE WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND

ours is up. nth brisbane

OH NOES!!! YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SOCIALISE WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND

We just got back from 2 weeks in Japan and wanted to watch some Daily Show, Colbert, etc. Can't even watch stuff we've recorded when there's no signal. :/

reboot it;
working fine here;

tried a couple of reboots and still no luck

think there's something going on in the building - we had some friends drop by before and the building manager had to let them up in the lift, cos our remote buttons for the door and lift aren't working

u arent missing much 30+ channels and still nothing on worth watching.

reckon. we need competition in the australian pay tv market asap, foxtel is such bad value for money.

I like it for Daily Show, Colbert Report, Bill Maher, and Conan, plus Dexter and True Blood (when there's new series on) sports like NFL, baseball, NASCAR, or AFL, and docos like Air Crash Investigation. Can also often find at least a half decent movie playing if I feel so inclined.

Actually, I could see that Foxtel would be a tad on the lame side without the IQ, cos I more often than not record stuff and watch it when I'm ready. I have had times where I haven't had anything pre-recorded to watch, and couldn't find anything to watch on any of the channels. But that's ok - if there was always something good to watch on then I'd never leave the couch.

f*** cable tv, i remember when it first came out and it was f***in awesome. no ads, awesome shows on all the time.

Now all u get is re-runs of the same s*** and ads every 5-10 minutes... i thought the entire idea of PAY tv, is that u PAY so u get tv with no ads.. i mean there is no f***in way that they dont make enough money and need to have an ad for jamster on every 10minutes.

yeah, it used to be way better.

i've got it too cerb :D without IQ foxtel wouldn't be worth the money imo. even with IQ it's not great. after you've had it for 4-5+ years you start to realise that foxtel almost never buys new material/shows, they just shuffle them from channel to channel claiming "CHANNEL X PREMIERE!!!", when it's already been on FTA and 2 other foxtel channels. but here i am, still paying for it like a sucker :(

talk shows (colbert, etc), sport and the doco channels are the only things i really watch on there - anything else gets the channel BT treatment.

i get my moneys worth from foxtel on sport alone:

edit:
should have added, we move into bonus territory for how much food channel petal watches on the weekends, and how much i benefit from that for the awesome foods i get cooked;

I like Foxtel now. IQ2 HD is pretty decent. You just need to find things you'll want to watch and set to record then you always have something to watch.

mine is down today. grrrrrrrrr

Don't justify yourself to kat... bad troll is bad.

how much more is iqhd2 than the standard non-iq deal?

Mmm, I donno. $10 more a month or something? www.foxtel.tv will probably know. Have to pay extra for the HD chans too IIRC. I'm not sure where my bill is.

you can't watch recorded stuff if it is down? Wow, what a kick in the pants

we are back up. hooray

i'd hate to think what's wrong with my life if i was cheering about foxtel coming back on at 10:40am on a weekday

i only just woke up, shift worker here. and with this rain there isn't much to do outside.

ah, shiftwork. my condolences.

TEN’s new sports channel ONE will become available to all Foxtel cable subscribers from July 1st.

While the channel is already available to top-tier HD cable-based susbcribers now the SD channel will be added.

awesome, about time!

soon free to air tv will be better than foxtel
ie free to air tv just keeps getting better, One HD, ABC2, the new channels that are coming
whilst foxtel keeps getting worse, more ads, more repeats, less good shows.

meh, fta is getting better, foxtel still has a lot to offer:

although there do seem to a lot of whingers out there, so perhaps i just have low standards;

you'd probably want to spook with how old you are
/hides

soon free to air tv will be better than foxtel

hahaha that must have been a joke.

Free to air is only worth watching for 6 hrs a day.
Nothing to watch after Midnight and a real wasteland in the mornings.

I LOVE MY FOXTEL

with Foxtel and Cable Internet who needs girls !

speaking of low standards, tell your sister i said hi

she'll know what im talking about

ok well my sister is 17
/calling cops nao

shes legal.

Another year till shes anal legal.

Another year till shes anal legal.

s***, im in trouble then

shes legal.

maybe if you're 20, not if you're 36. then it's pedo time.

not by law

Is there another kind of legal aside from law-legal?

The 'She's my little sister and if you touch her I'll f*** you up' law?

haha
no i'm pretty sure the pedo stuff kicks in if your dealing with people under 18 even if they are over 16 unless you're a similarish age

in tasmania they have some retarded rules like that, like brackets of ages obviously because siblings will be similar ages etc

not in qld

shes legal.

If you're too much older then the 16-17 year old girl you can be up for statutory rape can't you?

Only if she lives to see another day.

hahha
