Can confirm that in SE South Australia, the network / callsign alignment is as below
SES = Nine
SDS = Seven
MGS = Ten
I think these may have changed a few times when WIN dropped Nine, went to Seven, then to Ten, and back to Nine as its main affiliate here.
Fair to say that up in the Riverland itâs the followingâŚ
RTS = Nine
RDS = Seven
LRS = Ten
I know that there had been some confusion about the callsigns in Griffith but I can confirm that MTN does indeed carry the Seven signal in the MIA.
Agree with Riverland (not having seen it) but given its also a WIN owned solus market as the SE is, agree that is a logical assumption.
Interesting that MTN doesnât carry Nine though, using that same assumption.
Thank you both for the suggestions!
I tried the antenna, and it unfortunately didnât work out for me, so probably will take it back.
However, I actually got a different idea up my sleeve now, and I have just added this to my cart, to turn my Raspberry Pi (which has been collecting dust lol) into a mini DVB server! I have tested the outdoor antenna socket to my rental house (which I really should have done in the first place, but had stigma from the last rental with its outdoor antenna not working at all), so I hope all this works out for a cheap solution to free to air channels without the need of streaming services making you log in, and whatnot! 
Streaming does have its place, but terrestrial is always my FTA viewing source whereever possible. I donât like that the ads on streaming are different to terrestrial eg. for Sydney and that you canât pause/rewind like you can with a PVR. And itâs more reliable, not having to log in etc as you said. And no waiting for it to start etc.
I have a Pi TV hat setup. It works great I have all the channels in a VLC playlist for easy access.
You can also get a special case that fits the Pi and TV hat
and here we go!
Downside is, the TV hat only has one tuner, so I canât watch live while I am recording something, but might invest in a coaxial splitter, and a USB tuner in addition to the TV hat to overcome this.
Nine seems to be the only network with a DST placeholder in their EPG.
Oddly it goes for TWO hours⌠?
Iâve never thought to check how this works at the WA end. Trying to get my head around this!
Doesnât WA require an extra hour of programming to go from 2 to 3 hours time differance? Straight forward though for the live channels, eg ABCNews24.
ABCNews24 has a 0 minute program in the guide at 1am WA time. Nothing else noted.
The commercial channels will probably just chuck in another hour of Infomercials 
It appears to be two hours, but is actually only one, considering the time goes 1:59 straight to 3:00.
Usually the previous hour is repeated right?
ABC is fairly easy, just insert another hour of Rage, and the multi-channels are off air before 2am (and of course News 24 is live nationally so thatâs N/A).
I did bother to look at what happened in the schedules for the others though. I was comparing Sydney with Perth but I canât imagine there wouldâve been any nuances elsewhere (say Brisbane).
Seven did the extra hour of home shopping, so only one hour (3-4am) in DST states but two (2-4am) in non-DST.
Nine looks like it added an extra long-form lifestyle program in as home shopping started at 3.05am everywhere. Overnight was filled with a big lifestyle filler promoting the Gold Coast, but non-DST states got an extra Drive Safe infotainment thingo.
SBS One added an extra Ernie Dingo doco at 2am (not the same as the episode that aired at 3am) as part of showing NITV content overnight. Viceland and World Watch had gone to NHK World Japan and France 24 before 2am; Iâm not sure whether theyâd normally go to the former that early but deferring to it at 1.50am surely makes it easier to handle the time change. (Oh⌠World Movies dumped two old episodes of The Movie Show to fill in that hour.)
Ten as usual was already knee-deep in infomercials by 2am. Not bothering too much to look more deeply at the commercial multis.
I have that same setup with my HDHomeRun, but itâs just that and Plex.
The Tasmanian digital channel change occurs tomorrow and I heard an interview with someone on ABC local radio this morning about it and there was this in the paper. Will be interesting to see how many TVâs are affected, I know a place I stayed at only a couple of months ago (and a fairly big place) will have issues as the TVâs were so old and couldnât handle MPEG4 channels so there will be panic among a few people around when they canât access channels the usual way.
They could have put the columns in that table in numerical order
Shows how messed up the regional LCNâs are now. Also by having WIN using their logo instead of the Nine one which is the majority of the on-air branding. With the top row in some sort of numerical order then 7, 9 and then 10 I can see what they were going for.
I get why 7/9/10 are in the 60s/80s/50s in areas where there might an overlap with the metro channels but surely thatâs not a problem for Tasmania.
Yep, it made a bit of sense back 20 years ago when it was Southern Cross, WIN and TDT and as we saw in 2016 with the affiliation swap there was uncertainty about what affiliations would happen and they still had their own unique identities but now thatâs no longer going to happen and all stations use the metro branding this would have been the perfect time to go further and align all the channel numbers up for matching the metros.
Checked a bit after 6:30 this morning and all stations except SBS had made the change and our TV simply picked everything up like normal.
