Hopefully we get some of the classic Nick at night content that was on Foxtel all those years ago. Bob Newheart, Marry Taylor More, Space 1999!

Those who A) Haven’t seen it before and want to + B) Don’t have or want to pay money to buy/rent DVD/digital + C) don’t have a streaming sub or is not on that platform currently + D) don’t have Pay TV + E) might want to record it and play-back including skipping or removing ads. But yes, this would be a minority probably.

My point being they should’ve upgraded the channel to HD, as the launch of 7Bravo was.

It was pretty much guaranteed it would be SD, Nick on foxtel was never in HD, and 10Shake also wasn’t. So they most likely wouldn’t have gone out of their way to change the feed to HD.
Also, for some strange reason, all the Nick and MTV FAST channels are in SD too. I know for a fact Pluto is mostly Full HD, especially for the big Paramount branded channels. It’s like they’ve reduced resolution because Nick FTA is in SD.

No reason for them not to make the switch

There are some reason not to make Nickelodeon HD, starting with bit rates. It is already MPEG 4 and would need to triple the current bandwidth allocation and the bits would have to come from the other channels. I think 10 would get a lot more out of switching 10 Peach from MPEG2 to MPEG 4 and making it HD. It is such a popular multi and the switch would not need to take as many bits from other channels because of the change from MPEG 2, it would only need to add about 1 Mb/s to run in HD.

I’m like a broken record but yes, MPEG2 really needs to be phased out. Good to see WIN has started this process with WIN SD being the only left (for now) , so let’s hope the metro networks follow.

Would it be possible to make 10 Peach and Nickelodeon both HD? If 10 peach was switched to Mpeg4.

Yeah I agree… Older equipment has been babyed enough, time to rip the band-aid off and making all channels H.264, particularly when parts of the world are starting to look at using HEVC, and here Australia is still using bloody MPEG2

3am seems a little early. Would have thought they would have done sort of like a 6pm to 5am and 5am-6pm situation.

Lol it’s 95% the same schedule as 10Shake was. Is it just the name that’s tricked people into tuning in?
