What about making room for 10 Bold HD, is that possible while still launching 10 Shake?
Is there a launch date for 10 Shake yet?

Check the 10shake thread perhaps.
Maybe they’re keeping a LCN spare (point to 10 SD for now) for a future channel, so they can avoid another reshuffle down the line.

Presuming that 15 Spree TV is remaining on-air (as shifting TVSN to 16 would suggest is likely to be the case), I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of a 2nd HD channel being introduced to LCN-14 on the Network Ten multiplex.
Less likely but still possible, LCN-14 being used as a Ten HD redirect.

Mew multiples line up for 10 with Mbps for last 30 minutes
10 HD and 10 Shake are MPEG 4
| LCN | CH | Mbps |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10HD | 4.99 |
| 10 | 10 | 3.15 |
| 11 | 10 Peach | 4.58 |
| 12 | 10 Bold | 2.97 |
| 13 | 10 Shake | 2.13 |
| 16 | TVSN | 2 |
| 17 | Spree TV | 1.91 |

I’ve just rescanned my Topfield box manually (ie. just the 10 multiplex on VHF-11) in Sydney, and for some reason, 10 Shake is not on LCN 13, but is instead slotted somewhere on the 1000s.

Looking at the ASI input streams to the Transmitters it looks like TVSN & SpreeTV are MPEG 4 now, as well as 10HD & 10 Shake?
If correct that makes TEN’s mux the same as WIN’s now (except no Shake on WIN,) who have WINHD, SKY News on WIN, TVSN & GOLD all in MPEG4.

Yep, Spree/TVSN/Shake are SD MPEG4 and 10 HD in HD MPEG4.

Will also mean Spree TV will have to update their logo since it had the number 15 in it previously. Haven’t checked yet today if that has happened.

I came up with a solution to fix my problem, by deleting all of 10’s channels from my box & then rescan. It worked, with 10 Shake now on its correct LCN number of 13.

The gap for Channels 14 and 15 would imply that these reserved for future use… or am I just getting a little ahead of myself?

15 is a 10HD redirect but 14 is free.

Can you think of why they would have a redirect on 15? Does it take up any extra bandwidth?
I wonder why they moved Spree, perhaps so that it was after TVSN which is probably the more popular shopping channel. Also probably future planning?

Redirection doesn’t take up any bandwidth. It would be to create of suite of consecutive channel numbers 10 - 17 for people who use the up and down buttons on the remote.
With Ch 14 vacant we clearly need a new topic on Media Spy for “10’s 4th multichannel”

14 could be a promo loop for Paramount+ programming?

You must have the same (or very similar) Topfield set top box - this also happened on my end.
Surprised that it was decided that TVSN & Spree TV should become MPEG4 channels. I probably would’ve expected them to slash the bitrate of Ten HD in half so they could fit in six MPEG2 SD channels!

I have the TBF-200HD that I bought from JB Hi-Fi back in April 2016, as my bedroom TV is not MPEG-4 compatible (all other TVs in my house, plus my USB TV tuner, is MPEG-4 compatible). I assume you have the same model?

Yep, that’s the one!
