Hi

I have been using icetv on my vista media centre for some time now but am about to connect foxtel to my htpc and want to set up a guide for foxtel and i know icetv does not do this at this time. I would like to know if you plan on doing this soon?

We don't have a legal way to build or buy the Foxtel TV guide, so unfortunately no.

Thats too bad. How does Free Epg do it then?

Good question. It might be worth asking.

I just thought out of curiosity why you don't just use the Foxtel IQ.
Other than cost (about $15.00 per month at most iirc) I can't think of any reason why you would run Foxtel via an HTPC.

Also if you dont know is when Foxtel's HD service is started very soon they will be offering the IQ to all subscribers either SD or HD models and phasing out the old non IQ boxes over a few years.
Hope the info may help at all.
