My Foxtel box will not turn on, I checked batteries not that.

Hi Darren, I have Sky (foxtel) and the Sky box (foxtel box) is hooked up to my television and the only thing is i turn the volume up to full on the television and control everything (volume and change channel) through my Sky(foxtel)remote control..... I hope this helped, CHEERS..

Hi Janet, Is you television hooked up to a set top box like foxtel? and if so does it have a volume control as well as your television, I have foxtel with volume control as well as the television volume control.... What I do is have the television volume turned up full and control the volume through my foxtel.... Hope this helps... CHEERS...

Does the Foxtel unit operate a cable box or convertor separately? You remote should be setup (Foxtel) to turn both units off at the same time. It sounds like the Foxtel unit is losing all of it's power when it should have constant power for standby.

If power was lost likely a glitch in the unit, try to unplug it for a while and if no help something was damaged when power went off and came back on.

My problem was really a solution. I was just trying to warn others using Arista boards to not filter their Foxtel signals through their boards. I solved my problem by bypassing the Arista board, Foxtel Australia tell me that their IQ+ boxes have surge protection built in. I guess when you get a surge, the Foxtel box burns out and you have to get Foxtel to come out and replace it.
Cheers
