Sorry Purps, I nose nuffink about Foxtel.
from memory they came out and provided us with a new fox box as well.. and did all the set up
OT: I was told a story a couple of days ago that somewhere in the Brighton (Vic) area, there’s a domestic Foxtel box in which the power supply is on its way out.
The owners probably aren’t aware of it, but what the box is doing is spewing loads of interference back into the phone lines, such that anybody connected to the local 500-pair line is suffering a reduction in their ADSL capacity.
The chap telling me the story said that Telstra are aware of it, but because it’s not causing interference to their voice circuits – and their Charter of Responsibility doesn’t apply to the internet, only voice – they’re not interested in chasing up the faulty device.

Yes, reasonable internet and dial-up should never be used in the same sentence.

True. Even my satellite is 30 timed faster & doesn’t glitch when the phone lines get full of water.
worked it out. you just plug it in to the router.
but, you can’t watch the movies they promise if you don’t have a movie subscription
of the available tv shows I’ve found all of 3 that interest me.
sigh
