Foxtel IQ2

[tj]

I recently had IQ2 installed, and the installer put a filter on the line
because I also have Bigpond cable internet, and I was wondering why the
filter is necessary, or if it is really necessary. The filter is
labelled: Telstra HPF80S High Pass Filter 85-1000 mhz. TIA.

You have a filter on there because your IQ is connected to the phone system.
That is the way it updates the 'On Demand' and also how you order your 2 free
movies per month.

If you have broadband, any appliance connected to the phone system needs a
filter on it so's it doesn't interfere with the broadband/adsl signals.

He said he has cable. The filter is to isolate the IQ "noise" from the audible
vocal frequencies.

They also connect to the phone line as well as the cable

If you have 3 phones throughout the house, a phone/fax, or even a fridge that
is connected to the phone line/internet, you need filters on all of them.

I used to have a septic system that had it's own phone line (for the alarm
system), and it played hell with my broadband till I (first) disconnected the
phone line, and (second) got the septic company to put a filter on the line.

You really don't have a clue do you?

The filter the OP is referring to has nothing to do with the phone line!

The high pass RF filter is used to prevent the upstream transmissions
from cable modems below 50 MHz (there are a number of upstream channels
in that range (e.g. at 34 and 39 MHz etc).
Downstream cable modem channels are up in the 500 MHz band which cable
modems receive on.

Foxtel DVB-C transmissions are in the 600-800MHz range (in 6MHz wide
transmission channels).

The IQ2 unlike the other STB models however is particularly sensitive to
spurious noise from nearby cable modem transmitters and isn't adequtely
filtered internally. Hence why since early testing began it is official
policy to install high pass filters on the RF input to block signals
below 50MHz. The filter selected like the HFS80S specifies a low of 85
MHz but that just allows sufficient roll off to block the lower <50MHz
signals.

I gave my opinion........ you could have shown that you were some sort of
'expert' with half a brain and just given your 'expert' opinion and
ignored my post.

But no..... you have to try and big note yourself...... which just makes
you (and the other two) out to be the cyber hugging no-friend techno geeks
that you really are.


Next time, asshole, rather than assume that everyone spends their whole
life like you with their noses buried in some electronics manual, think
before you open your stupid mouth.

It *might* (and that is a very big might) just make you appear to be a
half decent human being.

The picture on the old box was better than the IQ2 with anything other
than live transmission, like movies, sitcoms, etc., so I took the filter
off to see if it made things better but it didn't. Does anyone notice
the same thing? Using the same connections /cabling btw, and no better
using HDMI either.

"cable".... but at the end of the day, my answer was *still* correct in
that the filter is on there to keep out any 'noise'.

Still correct????

The OP clearly described a HIGH pass cable filter with specs in the 85
to 1000 MHz range that operates on the coax RF signal, whereas you
ranted on about LOW pass ADSL filters that operate on the twisted pair
POTS cabling connected to the modem port. (which actually operate on a
completely different portion of spectrum by allowing the 0-4 kHz voice
POTS frequencies to pass through and block the ADSL signals in the 25
kHz to 2.2 MHz frequency range, so it clearly wasn't the one word you
missed out on but the completely different frequency range of the filter!).

Oh, and you also incorrectly mentioned that the phone line is required
to update On Demand content. The On Demand content is sourced from 3
different push feed channels located on different sat transponders and
cable multiplexes. None of that content is sent down the phone line.
The phone line is used to send back diagnostic data and the queued box
office & PPV event orders that have been stored on the card up until the
once a month that the box attempts to call Foxtel.

Now, as much as you don't seem to like ever being wrong, it was
impossible to ignore your incorrect and clearly misleading post.

There is only one thing more dangerous than someone who doesn't know
something and that is someone who *thinks* they know something when they
clearly don't. It's made all the worse when said person has an extreme
level of arrogance to never admit they are wrong.

Oh, and all the childish name calling is totally unnecessary if you want
to have a civilised discussion.
