I got a wooden spoon for Xmas (someone thinks I am a Expansion Supporter)

"Rolex" I only got liquor.

On another note, I probably have 50+ old VHS tapes of Melbourne in the 80's & 90's. A lot of Jako (11 against NM etc) Anyone interested in converting them, or is it not worth it?

I did not think the MFC had a team in the VFL/AFL back in the 80's or 90's or the 10's for that matter. Well thats what my shrink keeps telling me.

Its Moonie, its how he rolls!


Assuming it is a serious question, which is funny in itself.

If they cancel your service you lose all the saved data on your foxtel IQ.

It was a serious question. I don't have Foxtel IQ - I simply pay a monthly fee for a plan that gives access to certain stations. In my world a harddrive is part of my computer and Foxtel is pay tv - The twains don't meet.

Any news on the hard drive Mr. Leg?

foxtel iq is a box which detunes the cable signal (or satellite) and also contains a PVR hence the hard drive

so it's a digital tuner and pvr in one box

i asume you know what a pvr is

I know how much Redleg loves his racing videos but this has piqued my interest. If I kept videos of all of the shows, sports including footy I tape on iq, I would run out the 100% of space allocated very quickly. Is there a way to save certain material from your iq onto another drive or are you stuck with what Foxtel allocates?

[No abuse please - I know nothing about Foxtel. I just press buttons and watch the shows - thank you]

AFAIK your best bet is to buy a DVD recorder with 320+gig HD, dump the data onto the DVD recorder then burn to usb or dvd /cd disc. I know a panasonic dvd recorder will do it. But havent tried it with foxtel myself. Some tech wizards on here might know of a better way. I looked into this a few yrs ago. I have a panasonic recorder that I use to record, then burn to dvd from the TV, But never invested in foxtel.There was info on the net about setting this up.

I also have a lot of VHS tapes (of wins only) from the 80s to the present. Not many recent wins though.

Thanks for that - I might invest in one of those.

Cheers

NP. But like I said that info was a few yrs ago, today there might be a better and cheaper way to do it. IIRC foxtel passes through the DVD recorder and the recorder to the TV. I used the panasonic not just for recording from the TV, but I edited a bucket load of VCR tapes on to cd /dvd edited out the adverts etc.So it has added benefits. Like anything in life do your research 1st. then make a descision.

They explained to me that the IQ box has a hard drive and they wiped it. I know there are more important issues in the world, but I am still [censored].

A pvr? A pvr? Where do you think Romsey is ? When do you think Romsey is? Just let me test you DC - please explain what a pvr is in order that I can be sure of your credibility.

Understand. I have had similar issues with telstra. The problem is usually made worse because you are speaking to someone a zillion k's away who does not give a flyer.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
