I think Seven used the View channels during the 2003 Rugby World Cup. Not sure if Prime simulcast at that time though.

But did they ever show anything different?
Same with Nine Action.

From memory seven did an interactive thing with the 2003 Rugby World cup and either Nine or the ABC did one with walking with dinosaurs

One of the colours, orange, I think, was the “HD” (576p) channel, which showed a demo loop when there was no native HD programming.

What i would love to see is the channel names to have there callsign instead, for example:
NBN Newcastle
NEN Newcastle
NRN Newcastle (WIN NRTH Newcastle)

HSV Melbourne.
GTV Melbourne.

But very few people would know what NEN means.

Exactly. Even though the networks might have ABN, ATN, TCN and TEN as the official callsigns, the stations are essentally presented to viewers as ABC Sydney (or NSW), Seven Sydney, Nine Sydney and Ten Sydney respectively.
