Currently staying at the Rydges in Cairns for the weekend, the TV in the room is bizarre.
As with many places, Rydges are feeding the signal into the TV through their own methods. It seems to me like the TV is receiving an analogue signal, there’s no EPG, and some of the channels that aren’t working are showing the static effect that used to be prevalent in the analogue days. As usual, all the menu options are disabled. They’ve also custom named all the channels on the TV, which are mostly wrong. Picture quality is really bad on some channels, and some are stretched to shit!
This is what i’ve got:
1: “ABC1” showing ABC, picture quality is very low!
2: “ABC2” showing ABC Kids/Comedy, picture quality very low, colours jumping around, looks terrible.
3: “ABC3” showing ABC Me, working normally
4: “FOX1” showing Fox Sports 2, normal.
5: “FOX2”, unsure of exact channel, severely stretched horizontally, heaps of text, logos, details from the left and right of screen cannot be seen.
6: “7TWO” showing 7Two, working normally.
7: “SEVEN” showing 7, poor picture quality.
8: “7MATE”, showing 7mate, normal.
9: “WIN9” showing WIN, working normally.
10: “TEN” showing Nine, audio working sometimes, picture frozen on a cap from The Grinch movie
11: “ELEVEN” showing SBS Viceland, poor picture quality.
12: “GO” showing 9Life, working normally.
13: “GEM” showing 10Peach, normal.
14: “ONE” showing 10Bold, normal.
15: “SBS1” showing SBS, poor picture.
16: “FOX8” showing Fox8, poor picture.
17: “ANIMAL” showing TLC, severely stretched horizontally, cannot are left or right side of image, TLC logo, or heaps of text.
18: “MUSICMAX” showing Max, funnily has no audio.
19: “SKY NEWS” showing SkyNews, image squished vertically, letterboxed at the top and bottom of feed.
20: “GATEWAY”, nothing, just analogue static.
21: “7TRAVEL”, nothing, just static.
22; “7TRAVEL”, black screen with the words No Signal.
23/24/25: No name, just a blue screen with no audio.
