For Seven Queensland (STQ), would anyone prefer the main channel to be called 7HD (Region Name) to indicate that the quality is HD?
OR
Just 7 (Region Name) as there is only an HD service in MPEG-2 for the main channel? No point saying it’s HD as there are no SD simulcasts and every single digital TV can practically access it.
I do prefer the HD reference in the channel name, i like that reassurance I’m watching HD content, regardless of whether there is an SD simulcast or not.
Me too, but I think the trend now is to not bother putting it in the name unless there is/was a simulcast of it.
Speaking of which, NITV on VAST now has HD in the name. They didn’t bother until a few days after the switch. On the contrary, VICELAND doesn’t have HD in the name, so I guess the networks just do whatever they feel like at the end of the day.

I can confirm that my TVs shows the same list as you, apart from a few modifications.
Firstly, the shopping and datacast channels (except for Sky News Regional) have been removed, then I have the main HD channels on the single-digit LCNs, and have 7mateHD on LCN 63 for historical purposes, as 7mate was on LCN 63.
