1. Introduction
What is an internet (IP) connection?
Internet (IP) connection allows customers to watch Foxtel using their home internet. An internet connected iQ4 or iQ5 box can be used anywhere in the house where there is an internet connection.
An internet enabled iQ4 or iQ5 is easy to set up - no special equipment (eg: satellite dish, antenna) or professional installation is required.
Internet connected Foxtel considerations:
Some events and channels without streaming rights will not be available, compared to what is available on the satellite or antenna FTA (Free to Air) channels.

More VOD Channels ( Streaming On Demand)
The More VOD channels promote content that customers can stream anytime. Access to each channel is determined by the customer's pack entitlements and requires an internet connected iQ3, iQ4, or iQ5 set-top box.
Customers can access these channels through their TV Guide, by pressing the channel number on the remote, or by using the voice command feature. In the TV Guide, these channels appear in the EPG gride alongside traditional linear channels. When customers access the channel from the TV Guide, they will see a static image of a program with the option to launch into streaming it.
Note: These channels will not be available on Foxtel Go and Foxtel Now.
