What's Hot

Has a real EPG; supports pay television; well designed

What's Not

Timeshifting not automatic; no HD support

The Final Word

If you want to record pay TV and have a real electronic program guide, then the Foxtel iQ is the only choice. It's a fantastic product, if you're willing to pay the subscription fee for it.
