Guest nottoocluey Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 I saw somewhere on this board that you cannot record Foxtel Digital on PVR. Am signed up for installation next week on cable. Have a Toshiba RD XS32SG. Can someone tell me if this is true?
EvanOnTheGC Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 It should work fine on your Toshiba. You will simply connect the Foxtel STB to an AV input on the Toshiba. You will have to set up the timer records separately on both boxes. What you were confused with is Digital FTA PVRs (eg Topfield) which don't have an AV input and therefore will only record an FTA digital signal. Evan :->

Ted1503559509 Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 only Foxtel Boxoffice has had macrovision at times. I have no probs recording Foxtel on a Topfield 4000 pvr (Foxtel red card, not the blue) Notoo....just be aware that I remember someone mentioning about copyright protection being applied to Foxtel stuff....need some answers from someone who has done it...I guess..foss. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

FBO and Adult Select channels wont work due to Macrovision encryption. All other channels are fine though. To test it out, go to channel 114 (FBO Preview) and try to record it. Evan :->
