List of Foxtel channels

Jump to: navigation, search

Below is a list of channels on the Foxtel Service. Some channels are not available to all subscribers depending on whether they use Cable, Satellite or a special Education or Business package. On 1 December 2011, Foxtel updated the IQ HD set top boxes to swap the HD channels with their SD simulcast (e.g. FOX8 HD being on 208 and FOX8 SD being on 108) - however the EPG remained the same for all standard set top box subscribers [1]
