I also note with some interest that 9Gem HD here in Sydney at least, is back to an upconverted SD feed this afternoon (happened sometime during, or before the movie shown prior to the Pacific Test Rugby League started). Makes me wonder if we’ll see “HD” watermark additions when native HD pictures return…
Nice to see 9Gem back in HD. Sunday Footy Show looked nice and definitely a step up from 9now.
Has Nine stopped using the b\w icon at the start of programs that are in black and white? I didn’t see it at the start of My Favorite Martian. 9Gem does air a lot of black and white content, people might think their tv is broken.
Not a fan of that 9GemHD logo - I would’ve had the “HD” part the same size and next to the “em” of the 9Gem logo.
Still, it’s good to see Nine promoting the channel. Although one wonders how regional viewers feel about seeing the promo, when most don’t have 9GemHD while those who do aren’t seeing it on 95!
well it took them a while to get back 9 life after the affiliation agreement coz they were so focused on getting 9hd so maybe if people ask they might deliver???
and this is what sca 9 just said after i messaged them on fb :“Quite possibly, like most a regional rollout would come after a period of time in metro markets. Thanks”
Reminds me of when Seven did promos for “7mate HD” a few years ago for when they controversially loved the AFL for MKR on Anzac eve. Logo looked so fake and quickly put together.
Though isn’t/wans’t 7mate “HD” in some markets since 2012?
