I can’t believe they just switch mid-program like that.
Resembles something i’d expect from SCA, not 7.

Same thing happened when they switched to the Olympics - change was mid program, so for anyone watching that show on 7Mate …
Didn’t they go to a break first though?
It’s very messy. Literally a switch being flicked, which shows that internally all capital city markets are being played out in HD (with local ads) and up until now, only three cities actually used their HD feeds.

How confusing for the average viewer, (who would likely have no idea that the content of the HD channel is changing from 7mate), to have the program just switch completely randomly.
Not to mention the people (albeit few) who might have scheduled recordings on their PVR for 7mate programming set to 70 (so as to record the HD version) only to find that 7mate is randomly not on 70 anymore.
A ridiculous system!

The same thing happened at what seemed to be the same time in Brisbane. The Gold Coast changed a few seconds later.
So all markets are in HD now except regional Qld ?
Perth is still 7mateHD, but not for long…
I don’t get it. Why won’t they leave like this from now on. The average viewer won’t know what the fuck is happening and what’s in HD and what not if they keep going back and forward.

Messing with viewers is what free to air does best.
I don’t know if regional Qld is HD on 7 as I lost the cord to plug in to the tv to check .
Just make everything MPEG4 HD… Problem solved

You won’t expect that from C31 tho 
Here is the media release from Seven advising Sydney, Brisbane and Perth audiences of the new HD option from the network with advice on how to tune in and an FAQ page to help with trouble shooting.

DeciderTV hasn’t had an ‘exclusive’ about it, so it can’t have happened yet.
