9 Foxtel IQ3 F*ckups
- When you set a show to record that is clearly not part of a series, it asks if you want to record the series.
- If you don’t subscribe to HD, it will often record in HD and then say you can’t watch it. So much so that it is worth it to subscribe to save the hassle.
- When you finish watching a show, how do you delete it? Search for it all over again in your recorded shows and then click delete. Painful.
- When fast forwarding, the name of the show takes up the bottom half of the screen. No more watching subtitled shows at 2x for me 🙁
- The interface is not intuitive. 3 months in and I am still finding it hard to navigate. And I’m not new to technology, or too old for it.
- The remote has a pause button AND a play button. You have to push one to pause, and another to play. Contrary to the one button system that has been in existence forever.
- The interface is slow. It looks really good, granted – but is much slower than the previous box.
- It keeps telling me I am not subscribed to a channel when I am. Pushing the change channel button up and then down clears the message.
- Connecting the bluetooth remote is odd. It works from across the room, but to connect it you need to be like 0.5 cm from the box.
I’m sure there will be more to come…
