❖ Recording programmes
As explained in other sections in this User Guide, recording a 
programme is usually as simple as pressing R on your remote control.
◆ While you are watching TV, to record the programme you are 
watching, press R once, then press again to confirm the 
recording. Your FOXTEL iQ starts recording. Also, a Record 
symbol (see right) displays next to the programme and your 
FOXTEL iQ adds the programme to your Personal Planner 
(although your Personal Planner does not display). 
◆ While you are looking at the i-search banner, highlight a 
programme then press R. A Record symbol (see above right) 
displays next to the programme and your FOXTEL iQ adds the 
programme to your Personal Planner (although your Personal 
Planner does not display). If the programme is on now, your 
FOXTEL iQ starts recording.
◆ While you are looking at TV Guide or FOXTEL Box Office, 
highlight a programme then press R. Your Personal Planner 
displays, with the programme added to it. (For more information 
about recording FOXTEL Box Office programmes, see 
page 19.)
◆ While you are looking at your Personal Planner, if you decide to 
record a programme for which you have set a reminder, highlight 
the programme and press R.
Cancelling a recording
◆ To cancel recording the programme you are watching, press R 
twice. 
◆ To cancel a recording in the Search and Scan banner, highlight 
the programme then press R.
◆ To cancel a recording in the TV Guide or Box Office, highlight 
the programme and press R.
Note
If you are using Instant Rewind (see page 13) when you press R, the 
recording will start from the earliest point in the programme. 
Depending on your settings, this may be up to 60 minutes before live 
TV.
Note
You cannot record FOXTEL Active applications; Closed Captions 
cannot be recorded.
