Broadcast Channel Changes Perth

Channel changes

Seven is upgrading broadcast technology across Australia and on April 30th 2025 there will be changes in Perth. These changes may require that your TV is re-tuned to reflect those updates.
Part of these changes is the removal of MPEG2 technology to be replaced with MPEG4.
MPEG4 enables broadcasters to improve the quality of the services they deliver to meet consumer demand.

The changes are as follows:

  • Channel 7 will be converting to HD (in MPEG4)
  • Channel 70 and 71 will also be HD (in MPEG4)
  • 7two will become HD in MPEG4
