Why you should watch those shows sitting on your IQ
With the IQ3 coming soon, it's time to watch those unaired titles stored on your IQ2.

Let me guess.
You have a bunch of movies and TV episodes sitting on your Foxtel IQ that have been sitting there for a while, and one day you will get around to watching them, right?
Maybe on a rainy day or next time you’re home sick from work.
Well, don’t put them off forever.
When the new IQ3 rolls out -expected to be anytime from November- it most likely means there will be no capacity to migrate content from the IQ2.
That means subscribers will sadly end up losing favourite shows they have stored. The upside is that there will be plenty of new features on IQ3, rumoured to include nine tuners.
A corporate launch is expected in November but it’s not clear how long the rollout will take.
Time to start crossing those unscreened titles off your list.

I have kept this in mind, currently have 95% free space on my iQHD!
Will we be forced to get the new box, does that go for mystar HD boxes with PVR?
I’ll just record the shows I haven’t watched to my other PVR if I have to.
Everything is speculation at this stage.
Is this change of box including regional “Austar” now Foxtel subscribers too?
agree @pertinax I do love the way IQ keeps the series information for shows you are watching and automatically sets to record when a series restarts, so I’m always reluctant to hand over my IQ2
Foxtel won’t be able to upgrade everybody at once and they are still running STUs and IQs on the SD packages.
I imagine they will roll out the IQ3 as a package for new subscribers and those who want to upgrade for the home network support.
Eventually they will phase out the SD system and upgrade everybody but it probably take years.
I’ve only had my iq2 box for a week and all ready it’s obsolete, technology’s just racing by so fast you can’t keep up some days.
The sooner your sitting down to use some piece of technology the next your being told it’s old and needs replacing.

Better get cracking on Musketeers, Cosmos, Ray Donovan and Americans then! Any which I shouldn’t bother with?
