❖ General problems
Before you check connections between your equipment, make sure you disconnect all your equipment from the 
power supply. When you have finished checking and making connections, safely reconnect all the equipment to 
the power supply (see page 64). 
Problem Possible cause Suggested solution
Your FOXTEL iQ 
doesn’t seem to be 
working, and there 
are no lights on the 
front panel.
Your FOXTEL iQ is 
not receiving power.
Make sure that the power lead is properly plugged 
in and that the power supply is switched on.
Check that the power point has power (try plugging 
in a lamp). 
Your FOXTEL iQ

light is green.
Your FOXTEL iQ is 
not correctly 
connected to your 
other equipment, or 
your other equipment 
is not correctly set up.
Check that all the connections are properly made.
Check that your TV is plugged into the power 
supply and that it is switched on.
If your FOXTEL iQ is connected to your video 
recorder, rather than your TV (so your FOXTEL iQ 
is ‘looped though’ your video recorder), check that 
your video recorder is plugged into the power 
supply and in the correct state (switched off or on) 
for video recorder loopthrough to work (check 
your video recorder’s User Guide).
Your TV is not 
switched to show 
digital channels.
If your FOXTEL iQ is connected to your TV via a 
SCART lead, S-Video lead or phono lead, try 
selecting the appropriate AV channel on your TV.
If your FOXTEL iQ is connected to your TV via an 
RF lead only, try selecting the appropriate ‘channel 
for digital TV’. If you do not have a ‘channel for digital 
TV’, contact your FOXTEL provider for advice.
Your FOXTEL iQ 
doesn’t seem to be 
working, and the 
front-panel standby 
light is orange.
There is a problem 
with the signal.
Check that the satellite/cable lead is correctly 
connected to your FOXTEL iQ.
Check that nothing is blocking your satellite dish (if 
you have one), for example a tree or high building.
There may be a temporary problem with the 
reception, caused, for example, by bad weather; try 
again later. If the problem continues, contact your 
FOXTEL provider.
