How to get rid of the Foxtel error code F1077?


Fix 1: Check all the wired connections

Take a look at all the cables and connections that are connected to the TV box, the modem, and the TV.

These wires should be properly connected to ensure the completion of the circuit. If any of the wires is loose then you will have trouble with the Foxtel TV box.

If the wires in your home are often in a place where they risk getting damaged, you can install cable protectors over them to avoid this issue.


Fix 2: Check your internet connection

For streaming content through the Foxtel TV box, you need an impeccable internet connection. If the internet connection is not stable or is slow, you will face issues with the streaming either in the form of specific error codes, or buffering problems.

To check your internet connection, use a device that is using the same network and Google Internet Speed Meter. Select a tool from the list of websites displayed to you. We suggest choosing the top-ranking result for better processing. And run a speed test on your connection.

If you find that the internet speed is slow, you can check your internet plan for the maximum speed allowed. Change the plan if the speed is not enough for streaming. 

For other issues with the network, you can contact the internet service provider.


Fix 3: Check the status of the Foxtel server

Streaming on your device is possible through a connection to the Foxtel server. In some instances, the server status might be unavailable because of too high traffic or scheduled maintenance.

If the TV Box is not able to connect to the server, it will not be able to download the content for streaming. 

You can check the status of the Foxtel server through a down detector tool. Launch Google and simply search for Down Detector. Enter Foxtel into the name of the server and you will get a real-time outage report.

If the Foxtel server is down, you can raise a support ticket but there is nothing else you can do to take care of the issue.


Fix 4: Restart the Foxtel TV Box

The Foxtel TV box can run into some temporary glitches that may not allow the device to get out of the freeze state and function.

This will affect the streaming process and you will face issues like the error code f1077.

Fix 5: Perform a factory reset on the Foxtel TV Box

If you were not able to eliminate the temporary glitch on the Foxtel TV box, it is possible that the error is not temporary.

There are some processes on the box that can get messed up due to the settings that you change on the TV box. It is not always possible to figure out what setting caused the issue. The easy solution is to factory reset the Foxtel TV box to default settings. 

Before you take this step, make sure that you understand that taking this step will erase all the preferences that you have set on the box, and you will be asked to set up the box entirely from scratch.

Rather than proceed with the factory reset.

Fix 7: Take a look at the settings on your modem

If you are using a wired connection to connect the Foxtel box to the Internet then there is a possibility that the modem is not allowing the Foxtel TV box to connect to the Internet.

This happens due to the settings on the modem that refused to let the Foxtel TV box use the network to connect to the Internet.
