My loungeroom TV has this issue as well, but no EPG. Change the channel too fast and the TV blanks for 10 seconds, with no information.

It came good again now though, but yeah for one night seemed to play-up.

On myswitch, transmitters have a “Pat” and they’re either OD or DA… what is a pat and what does OD and DA mean?
Pat = Pattern. OD is omnidirectional, DA is directional antenna. Referring to whether the transmitter broadcasts at the same power in all directions (OD) or selectively greater signal power in some directions.

Australian educational video service ClickView has a “ClickView TV” section that allows requesting of recordings of programs from the last 14 days. All metropolitan state channels are recorded, with only 9Life and 9Rush excluded.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything more about these extremely low powered DTV transmitters that some caravan parks have, particularly in Queensland. There is one at Maroochydore Beach Holiday Park as per screenshots. It almost seems that these services are just RF modulators with an external antenna attached.

SCRC appears to have at least three of these transmission sites (all in caravan parks)

Tourist TV?

Callsigns suggest these sites are self-help DTV repeaters.

turns out the antenna I’ve been working on that looks like a Hills CA16 is actually an ‘Antiference CN1428’. Must be pretty old as couldn’t find out anything on Google about it

When up on the Gold Coast, I’ll go for a walk thought-out the day, and come past this building quite often.
The rooftop is quite the arrangement of antennary.
Looks to be from the 90’s possibly. (Being this area is very Mid 80’s to 2010’s.

Yes that’s where Prime was on the Gold Coast.

That must have been after their Southport days, as they used to produce their local news bulletin from Southport in the 1990s.

Interesting, because the old NRTV building is just down Southport Rd. to the west in that map.
Not sure which building it was, but the GC Bulletin is still there.

Yes 60 High Street in Southport (where Hot Tomato is now) and a few years after their News was axed they moved to opposite Ashmore City (where that antenna array is) shared with Seven News. Seven moved to Surfers Paradise and Prime moved to Bundall.
Former Gold Coast Bulletin site at Ashmore is nearly all demolished except some abandoned buildings. Newsroom these days is in Southport while printing is done in Brisbane.
