Can you take your Foxtel IQ box with you on the road but to only watch any material that you have recorded - not connect it to a network?

To be honest I haven't tried that, but I think you need satellite hooked up,
or the box will just say no signal and not respond!
You could try at home disconnecting your box from the satellite, by
removing your 2 incoming cables!

We have a sat dish but the later IQ 3-4 etc operate off the internet.

We have been doing this for years and currently take the IQ3 hooked up to sat dish as well as a VAST box for FTA channels.
A good sat meter is a marriage saver and Satplus Qld have some excellent ones.

Yes you can watch recorded programs BUT you have to have a successful link up with the satellite.

I have set up in my van my IQ4 (with recordings on) it to my sat dish with twin cables and a good signal.
I can watch any live foxtel but not my recorded shows.
Any help please.
