Re: Query re recording Foxtel content to external hard drive

Thank you Luuuc for your suggestions. I'm not sure what outputs/cables are involved with the latest Foxtel box but I suspect they might be HDMI-only.
I know I should move on to a type of USB HDD but I am partial to the DVD format.
I do have free-to-air reception and a digital set-top box but they are unreliable in my area, whereas the Foxtel broadcasts are generally free of error.

Re: Query re recording Foxtel content to external hard drive

Fair enough if your cable/satellite Foxtel reception is better than your free-to-air reception.

I just had a look out of curiosity and the current Foxtel box (iQ4) is indeed HDMI only, and so is the previous iQ3.
That's gonna make things tricky for you I think.

Re: Query re recording Foxtel content to external hard drive

Yeah I suspect the HDMI connection will be the problem.
I'm not sure if I can somehow adapt these to RCA plugs or not but I'll give it a go.
Thanks again Luuuc.
