[AusNOG] Choice says using Netflix is NOT Piracy

Tue Sep 9 11:36:53 EST 2014

Sorry but no.

The second cable is for the signal on the other polarisation.  This is where Foxtel put most of the HD channels.

It's _definitely_ still one way satellite for HD.

Two way sat has a whole bunch of extra infrastructure on the feed horn including the transmitter.

IQ uses your Internet connection for some on demand and grabs other off the feed.

I think the Internet connection means it doesn't have to phone in to tell Foxtel about your feed delivered on demand purchases.

There is a set up process you have to go through to activate the Internet connection.  

The ethernet port itself doesn't actually do anything until you do this via the Foxtel customer toolbox.
