Digital TV Technical Discussion

Yes, but I’m not sure if all sites have switched yet as they’ve being doing them one at a time. My location switched around the end of May.

It involved upgrading the 3 x 7 Regional WA feeds and the 7mate North-West feed to HD on VAST earlier in the year. They didn’t rename or renumber them though.

Then the terrestrial sites began switching. The only significant changes are on the Seven mux with 7HD launching and 7mateHD moving to 64. The rest of the lineup is the same as before, including Channel 9 SD on LCN 8 which is just pointless now.

I have to say, the picture quality is absolutely perfect now. The issues with 7mate, 9HD and 9Life breaking up under high load have been resolved. But I am disappointed that WIN didn’t give 9Gem or 9Go! a HD upgrade. Are they’re working on it?
