This means only cable Foxtel iQ2 set-top-unit subscribers will be able to view the retransmitted channels 7mate and GEM.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRetransmission is a complimentary service provided to Foxtel subscribers for subscriber convenience.<\/p>\n<p>The Foxtel service does not guarantee subscribers access to all of the commercial free to air channels via retransmission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, as reader Chris King says when writing to Channel 7,<\/p>\n<p>Why did u bother to buy the rights to the rugby league World Cup as you are treating it like a joke. \u00a0If you were serious about it you would have it on 7 not 7mate so foxtel users and workers could record it. Now I have to miss every game as I work. How come you are only replaying Australia games I had planned to watch every game until I found out channel 7 had it. Stick to the v8s as no one cares about them<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, is this a Channel 7 issue or a Foxtel issue?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tvtonight.com.au\/2010\/09\/7mate-and-gem-on-foxtel-the-fine-print.html\" target=\"_blank\">TV Tonight<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dtvforum.info\/index.php?showtopic=107086\" target=\"_blank\">DTV Forum<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>FIX?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Foxtel + Foxtel APP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now I hope Foxtel does not block my fix comment but, I found a way around it. \u00a0It might be because we have two subscriptions in the same Melbourne household, HD upstairs and non-HD downstairs where I cannot normally see the two channels because of the above.<\/p>\n<p>I have the Foxtel APP which means I can login on my iPad and schedule recordings. \u00a0I select a program like the Rugby League World Cup game against England, and when it asks which box (Upstairs or Downstairs) I select downstairs (even though its not HD), and then 3 minutes after it has started I go to my Foxtel recordings on the downstairs tv and there is the game recording. \u00a0I can start watching then, or anytime later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not big on talking about TV, mainly because most of the complaints that come across our desks are people whingeing about adverts on free television causing programs to run overtime. \u00a0Shock horror, adverts on television, what were they thinking.
