Digital TV Technical Discussion

For me it was a JVC Tube TV (it was a bigis one) til June 2008 and then we got an LG Electronics 42LC7D 42 LCD HDTV (720p MPEG2-HD) it’s still in our lounge room today as a family tv but just not the HD channels. (We got it bundled with a LG DVD Home theatre system) (the tv still has anolog)

Looks like a reshuffle of 10’s multiplex when 10 Shake starts with it taking over LCN 13 from 10HD. No mention of any HD simulcast. Could 10HD move to LCN 1?

The better move would be to make LCN 10 the HD channel

As I just mentioned in the 10 Shake thread, I reckon they used Darwin as a testing ground and 10HD will go onto LCN 10

Could be. Doesn’t explain 10 Peach on 13 though. I reckon it’s more likely SCA wanting uniformity across their markets since moving to NPC - HD on x0, SD on x1, SD on x, no matter the affiliate.

Wonder what impact taking 10 Bold off LCN 1 might have (if anything) in nightly ratings.

10 does not broadcast in Darwin. Nine/SCA have a joint venture DDT station broadcasting Ten content.

Changing the LCN lineup is always a risky move with the potential for loss of viewers with people who aren’t tech savvy. But the best time to do it is when adding a new channel offering that will at least get people interested enough to not want to miss out, and hopefully make the effort to retune (if their set up requires it).

Though the potential is that this LCN line up will see all the channels still available to view without a retune - just a couple on a channel that the viewer may not be used to using.

10’s LCNs are getting more of a shake up than first thought with TVSN moving to Channel 16 on 16 September.

Hmm…so what’s going on 14? 10 HD? SpreeTV?

10 Shake HD?

I doubt it :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

But seriously, if it is 10 HD that moves to 14, that would make 10 Shake being on 13 quite pointless.

Perhaps, since LCN 13 is already a HD MPEG 4 channel, 10 Shake will be in HD on that channel and LCN 14 will be a SD variant.

Hopeful thinking but I’m sure if it was going to be in HD, then the promos would mention it.

Not really. It puts all the multi’s together. Keeping 10HD on 13 and using 14 for 10 Shake would be messy. Then again, Nine doesn’t seem to care that much about logical ordering.

I’m wondering how the change for LCN 13 will be handled. Perhaps

  1. Close down 10 Bold on LCN 1 - put up a change channel to LCN 12 notice
  2. Then a week or so later close down 10 HD on LCN 13 and move it to LCN 1 - put up a change channel message + a promo “a new channel is coming here”.

What about making room for 10 Bold HD, is that possible while still launching 10 Shake?

Is there a launch date for 10 Shake yet?

Check the 10shake thread perhaps.
