Any Foxtel gurus floating around?
« on: September 20, 2013, 05:49:04 PM »
The missus accepted an upgrade deal on Foxtel from IQ to IQ2. She didn't realise all her recorded shows on the IQ would not transfer to the IQ2, we're talking hours and hours of kids shows. Any ideas on how to get the content off the IQ?

I thought you were going to ask how to get free cable tv.
Why do people ask "What the hell were you thinking?"
Obviously I was thinking I was going to get away with it and not have to explain it....

I would think it is pretty difficult as it stores them in an encrypted system on the internal hard drive.   If you ring up and negotiate with them they may let you keep the existing IQ box
