Foxtel HD+ Switch to another house

**RunnaLittle** · 14-08-09, 03:24 PM

I have to move out due to extensive renovations at my house.

I am moving in with the inlaws.

I have an IQ2 Set top box for Foxtel.

My inlaws used to have foxtel and they currently have satelite for an overseas tv channel - their set top box is a Humax.

My questions are:

Can I just take my foxtel box to my inlaws and hook it up via their old foxtel outlet and away I go?

Can I just swap my Foxtel Card (cable) in to the HUMAX box (satelite)

Is there any way that I can easily get foxtel at my inlaws today by using my own equipment?

dont know about the cable outlet but I do know the card will NOT work in the humax

It will work in a dreambox with the correct software and if the dish is aimed at C1

I came in here to ask the same sort of question. Can anyone tell me if a cable iqbox will work with on a sattelite, from the looks of it, it appears the sattelite boxes look the same as the cable??
Thanks

thanks guys for your quick response... I have dm500s, but I hate the tv guide...I find it hard to read as its so small, I just like the foxtel tv guide, guess its what you get used of.. will need to do some surfing to see if I can change the settings of the tv guide.
