Troubleshooting and backup
Troubleshooting
It’s not the end of the world...
...But it can feel like it. So before trying anything
else, try resetting your box. First, find the BACK
and SELECT button on the front of your Foxtel
box, press and hold both of these buttons for
a few seconds and the box will turn off. Let go,
and the box will reset after a minute.
The list below deals with some of the issues that might be easily fixed
Troubleshooting and backup.
What’s happened?
Try this
I’m receiving a No Signal/No Satellite Signal
message.
Reset your box. If this doesn’t work, ensure the
signal cables from your Foxtel box to the wall
are secure. If you have an iQ/iQHD and receive
No Satellite Signal, you must have 2 signal
cables for service.
I’ve lost my Foxtel Picture.
Make sure your Foxtel box is turned on and your
TV is set to the correct input/channel – this is
generally an AV/VIDEO or HDMI channel (check
page 32 for channel number).
I can’t see free-to-air channels anymore.
Do the FTA channels appear in the TV Guide?
If not, please note that our retransmission
agreements with Freeview channels depend on
state and platform. To find out more call 131 999.
My picture looks stretched/squashed.
Your STU may be set to the wrong picture
settings. If you have a widescreen or flat screen
TV your TV Type should be set to 16:9. To change
your picture settings, hit setup and then select
‘Program Display’.
Still meeting resistance?
It might sound obvious, but:
– Check the power lead is in the power
point… and that the power point is turned on.
– Check the batteries in your remote – this
one’s an easy fix.
– Double check the wall plate is secure,
and the cable running to the Foxtel box is
fixed in place.

– Turn off the power at the wall for around
a minute, and then try again.
– Check the cable running from the Foxtel
box to the TV is secure.
