Should convert the entire lineup to MPEG4 in RQLD and have 7flix in HD.
If its their “testing area” then perhaps it could happen soon

A fairly typical poorly executed change. Advise viewers that they should recan after midday today. Then the new channel, the main reason for a scan, isn’t available for most tuners, and those that do pick it us, the message is “no service”. How many people are going to be looking through their user manuals for a solution. Should have been ready to go at midday.
I recorded 7Flix, but can’t seen when the change from MGEG2 to 4 happened , seems to be seamless.

When I recorded the SC10 to WIN Nth NSW changeover in 2016-2017, the SC10 feed stopped mid way during an ad just after 1am and the screen stayed black after that for hours … I could not see where or when the WIN feed started as a rescan was needed to see it.
So most likely people won’t see any technical transitional effect on screen at all - it will either be seamless or stop working completely.

so I guess the next step for 7 regional (ex-prime 7) is for 7two to be HD
So glad Prime will get 7bravo. But why didn’t they take this opportunity to renumber? So there’ll be a permanent gap on 63 now?

Does a placeholder really NEED to be in HD anyway?!

I think Seven will further adjust the bitrate prior to the launch of 7bravo, so 7flix doesn’t become too blurry to watch.

On my tv it definitely is in HD

In Bendigo, 7mate SD isn’t a placeholder yet and ishoptv is still on 65. Is this happening anywhere else?
Fetch does not like this rescan at all

New slide on 73 (metro) - a bit more stylish that the original that had been used in Regional Queensland.

Bit irritating to have it on 74 rather than 73 when 73 has nothing now. Are they going to irritate people further by then switching the channel back to 73 in 6-12 months time?

That’s what I mean. Why didn’t they do it now? Will they need 63 to do a 7two simulcast later on?
