[200William-EC SP67851] Foxtel

[Ed Sainsbury]

Hi Matt,

 

I am ambivalent as I use the internet mostly and will not subscribe to Foxtel. If enough people want it, I will support it.

 

Regards,

Edward

Hi Matt,

i had no idea this was the situation with Foxtel. Although i have never had a tenant complain, i think it is worthwhile to determine the cost for cabling to allow for IQ at a minimum.

Kind Regards

Hi All,
   Im not sure if anyone else in the building has Foxtel. But it's very 
annoying only having satellite low definition and no access to foxtel 
IQ.  In another block where I own after a lot of research it was 
discovered that you could switch the building from satellite to cable. 
This had a two prong effect. Gave residents HD and IQ as well as giving 
them access to high speed cable modem if they so desired.
 
You can upgrade satellite to a two cable system however that is usually 
cost prohibitive  as new coax need to be ran to every apartment.  Where 
as if you just convert to cable you just need to connect to the existing 
cable and run a new coax in from the street. Also foxtel then need to 
come and change all the STU's (set top units)
 
In Elan the whole process cost around $8k however in our building I 
would suspect it would be cheaper. Perhaps around $3~4k  Is anyone 
interested in me getting a quote. If we dont think it's worth it right 
now. Let me know before I do the leg work. I would rather not waste time 
on it. If we dont think it's worth the investment.
 
 
Matt.
