    Default is satelite 1 way

    general discussion between me & my mate

    can foxtel see what you do with the boxes ? if you have no phone line connected, or internet ?

    eg. i just received a iq4 & replaced the iq with it, but if they kill 1 of the 4 subs i have, how do they know which 1.

    Trying the card in another box is the best test.

    You are correct in your assumption, Phil. Your box cannot talk to the provider.

    There is no link back to the provider when the telephone line is disconnected from the box.

    I would assume if any box/card was to be cancelled, it would be the one which the iQ4 replaced.

    Just guessing.

    And as tristen said, satellite doesn't report back, with no phone or internet connected to the box.

    what a mess
    hooked up iq4 the other night, hdmi to my room works great, some white specel ? maybe the powered hdmi splitter

    but, lost all free to air tv, fug, i guess its coz the fta looped back into the system (rip fernbay) & the iq4 not having rf out? i dunno

    luckily found a old friend on facey who just happens to be a tv & sat installer, lucky phill

    To talk back to the satellite, you would need to be able to transmit as well as receive, like a VSAT (e.g. Tooway, Gilat, etc.).

    In the old days they used to call the normal dish system at home a TVRO -- TV receive only.
