I am also curious, as to whether the IQ2 will record to DVD recorder (similar to what my IQ1 does) ?

Thank you so much for your unbelievably helpful info! I really want to get IQ but was very unsure about transferring to a DVD recorder! Do you have any thoughts yet on the new IQ2? Is it worth getting into yet? And do you know whether there are any problems regarding transferring to DVD with IQ2? I have been reading some of the comments on C.net and they haven’t been too flattering in this regard. Would love to hear your opinions.

I know this might be a stoopid question, but…… can I hook up the foxtel to dvd player with foxtel scart component and composite or do I need the other one?

Hi, really great article!

I am still a little confused as to whether I need a DVD recorder with a digital tuner. We recieve Foxtel via satellite and can tape all FTA and pay channels onto the IQ with the exception of channel 7.

My main motivation for buying a recorder is to transfer programs I want to keep from the IQ to DVD to free up space, and to transfer programs from my old VHS tapes to DVD.

If I buy a recorder without a tuner does this mean I still won’t be able to tape channel 7? Do you only need the tuner so you can tape directly from the TV to the DVD recorder?

Advice would be much appreciated!

Greg,
As far as I know, there are no DVD recorders with digital inputs at the moment. Thankfully, the Foxtel STB’s digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) isn’t terrible. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not great, but for most purposes it’s not that bad at all.
