Yep its really horrible. I noticed it on my TV also, looks fuzzy and a Cam filmed version of it in a cinema.
So pixelated also!

Was that the movie “Jayne Eyre”?

It’s previously aired on 7Two and looked completely different from that.

Also remember, the actual transmission output is different for 7flix.

It was Miss Potter.

Which coincidently also recently aired on 7Two on a Saturday night.

Didn’t watch that though.

Not sure a planned schedule fits the definition of coincidental.

Coincidental, in relation to my point about Jayne Eyre.

You had a point?

Jane Eyre actually aired after Miss Potter on 7flix last night. How serendipitous.

It appears as though 7flix is returning to its original ‘movie per night’ programming.

At least this Sunday (“Bridesmaids” 2011) and Monday (“Coyote Ugly”).

Possibly coinciding with the channel launch in more regional markets?

What’s with the recent font change on the PRG on 7flix?

Noticed that too, plus the watermark was a bit blurry.

That image quality looks below SD , exactly how it looks on my 8 year old tv. Sort of soft and blurry.

Good to see Seven’s network programming chief Angus Ross delivered on what he told TV Tonight some weeks ago (regarding endless Big Bang Theory repeats - which are rating though) “more movies are on the way” :+1:

As of two nights ago, they’ve added a movie every Sunday and Monday night it appears.

•This Sunday: “Notting Hill” (1999)
•Next Monday: “Encourage” (2015) premiere
•Next Monday (late): “United 93” (2006)

There are eight Big Bang Theory tonight, six tomorrow, five surrounding Notting Hill, and three before Entourage. Yes, well done.

One thing I’ve just discovered is that 7flix on Prime7 is about 3-4 seconds ahead of 7flix on 7 Sydney.

Did I read somewhere that 7flix playout for the Seven Network comes out of Mediahub (and not the Melbourne Broadcast Centre)?

If so, that probably explains this.

Yep. Was taken from Plus7 feed which is a measly 360p. :frowning:

But that wouldn’t make a difference? 7flix playout is via MediaHub nationally.

I know the 7Live/Plus7 channel live streams are ~30sec behind real time.

It’s interesting because Prime’s channels have traditionally been ~15 seconds delayed compared to Seven. Since they moved to MediaHub it’s dropped to something like 5 seconds. 7flix via Prime is now ahead of Seven as it doesn’t have to travel to BCM first.
