How do you know the video quality is 4K and not 1080p?
Because they use the 4k watermark. Plus, the image will say HDR+ in Picture settings depending on what tv you have. My tv does that when watching 4k content. like others have said Binge also supports 4k on Firestick the easiest way to tell? Picture settings. It does also tell you straight away whether content is available in 4k. Itâs no different to the way it works on other devices. I was using it for a few years when 4k wasnât supported on there and it was never on there. I donât think they would have it on there and promote it on a device thatâs not supporting 4k.

Nine Melbourne has gone mostly MPEG-4.
Weirdly though, unlike in other cities where Nine have already made the change, Extra remains on MPEG-2.

I was wondering the same thing. Now only Sydney to upgrade.

Based on that website, Perth and Brisbane have all channels on MPEG-4 except 9SD on channel 91. From user posts, Adelaide have also kept 9Rush and Extra on MPEG-2 but they were also the first to make the switch.
Seems weird they would have a third option for Melbourne?
Itâs a shame the 4 metroâs arenât showing on the Intelsat 19 scan as weâd be able to confirm if thatâs still the case in Adelaide. Not sure if Nine has stopped using it as their primary outhaul or if digital-bitrate.com doesnât scan the entire bird properly.
Very strange indeed!
You would think that Nine would have a standard moving forward for all cities wouldnât you.
As am I.
Not even going to try and estimate when they might do Sydney. A month perhaps would be my only guess.

Interesting move to have 10 drama being the one 10 hasnât added - opting for Nickelodeon instead?
Guessing SNR, 10 & 10 comedy are all HD and Nick SD?
TV Tonight didnât mention that some of those additional multi channels from Mt Alexander are coming from a lower powered transmitter.
Kind of an important fact to leave out of the story.

10 and 10 drama were already available. BAIâs communications on this are wrong.
Nice to see 9Life going HD in Melbourne.

Wonder if Nine will clean up their LCNs to get rid of duplicates? I know that technically it doesnât matter. But it would be easier for people who pick their way through using the channel up and down buttons.

Great! Itâs time for Sydney now. Is every other city now HD?
In (almost) the words of Juan Antonio Samaranch⌠âthe loser is ⌠SYDNEY!!!â.
10 drama was part of the initial restorations IIRC.
Whatâs left to do at Mt Alexander?
Arenât all channels back online now?
