I’m not sure whether this is a technical glitch or an upgrade but it appears 7plus now lets you watch live content from other states. It’s been letting me watch live news from Perth for a while now and I’m in Brisbane.

I also see a different looking progress bar when pausing a show on 7Plus on the Apple TV app.

Since it is so important, I’m going to ask a question too!
I’ve noticed lately that 7plus have local ads for Tasmania included in the streams, ads that definitely would not be in Melbourne - e.g. Youngs Vegie Shed. So, if that’s possible, would it be possible later on sometime that instead of 7 Melbourne news being the bulletin broadcast on there we have 7 Tas news instead? Unlikely, I know but just curious about it if they’ve got the ads.
It’s because we recently decided to move each respective networks streaming apps into their own network category, rather than having them in the streaming category. Actually I accidently unpinned it as I forgot.

Unlikely as SCA produces the bulletin, not 7, and SCA is responsible for the playout.
But SCA may have sold the ad space on behalf of 7.
Is there any way to see Home and Away in Qld at the same time as NSW ? i’m on another forum and people are discussing it before I’ve seen it.
Can I change my location on the Apple TV ?

Can 7plus get home and away the early years or is it too hard

Why don’t you speak to someone at Seven about whether they can or can’t do that, rather than posting the request here? We can’t make it happen.

That got my attention this morning too. Those content boxes were there before but the design and colours are different.
It looks better. The red makes it obvious which one you’re watching.

Has anyone ever experienced it when a show on 7+ will just play through completely without showing any ads? Is that a feature or a glitch?
It has happened to me occasionally since I began watching something on it recently.

It’s happened on 7plus and 10play too recently.

Yeah i saw an update on 10 Play and the notes mentions
“This new update features some exciting new features including an ad holiday that prevents users from seeing large blocks of ads when scrubbing through content”
Not sure what scrubbing through means.
I have an Apple TV.
I know on SBS on Demand if i exit after the ads and go back in again the ads disappear
Sometimes on I think SBS on Demand just before the ad break point if i scroll fast enough it skips the ads.
If i do the same on 7Plus the 3mins of ads becomes under a min

Scrubbing is to scan up and down the timeline of a video, in this case on-line. Term was originally used in video editing suites and later software to quickly scan a video for content to find where edits were to be made. It gained popularity with YouTube users to describe quickly scanning through a video.

7plus have Big Brother Canada season 9 episodes. Anyone know if 7plus will be streaming Big Brother Canada season 10 episodes March to May, and if so how soon after the 3 episodes per week air in Canada will they are here?
Any chance 7plus (or 9now/10play) pick up the USA Celebrity Big Brother season 3 episodes airing Feb 2-23 (15 eps), or USA Big Brother season 24 likely airing June to September?

I noticed BB Canada the other day. I wasn’t too sure if it was similar to the new BB Australia format or they have actual conversations other than strategy.
