The house I'm in was poorly designed/wired and we can't have IQ in the living room, so we went back to standard Foxtel.
The standard box unit just died & I found an IQ box on Gumtree for $40, was wondering if I would run into any compatability issues etc
Can't go through Masters week with no Foxtel !

I thought the box would have to be compatible and registered with the card at the front.
U can always log on to Foxtel go.

What do you mean 'standard Foxtel' though?
Make sure the box is the same technology you currently have (cable/satellite) and you should be fine, I think? If satellite you would need the smart card from your old box. Not sure what cable uses to identify subscribers.
Failing that you could stream the Masters on Foxtel Go, not sure if the dedicated channel is available there though.

Sorry, poor choice of words. By standard I mean just the regular old Foxtel box, the old school gray - no HDMI box. No live pause,record etc.

Ahh ok. Makes sense.
I'm no guru - if you're on satellite and the replacement box is satellite it would almost certainly work. Not sure about cable.
Surely Foxtel should be able to get a new box out to you fairly quickly?

Foxtel seem to think that any failure of hardware is caused by the user and we,as users, have to pay $300 for a replacement box as the equipment is the property of Foxtel lol. Such a joke.
You would think that forking out $100+ per month over the last 10 years would count for something but I'm surprised at all...
