In Melbourne, 9HD is in SD, Gem and Life are missing, and Go! is still on air.
All of 9’s Brisbane streams are erratic.
9/91 showing programming and adverts but keeps going to black screen
90 was black screen but now has SD program with black flashes
92 Gem black screen
93 Go program running with occasional black outs
94 Life black screen
95 Extra black screen
Gold Coast
same as brisbane
Regional Qld
5, 50, 52, 53 all running “Nine presents” in SD
54 Life has normal programs
55 SBN
Edit: Gem is back in Brisbane
To clarify in Melbourne, Gem and Extra and broadcasting black screens, while 9Life is showing ‘No Signal’ (my TV has actually removed it due to the channel broadcasting nothing on 94).
An episode of Skippy just appeared on all 5, 50 and 52 regional stations, 53 is pixelating badly.
And Life in Brisbane service disappeared (similar to Melbourne).
On Foxtel cable (Sydney) Nine SD is fine, 9HD is dead, 9Go is fine, 9Gem is showing that, 9life is dead.
On 9now…
Nine has a message about The Ashes.
9Gem:
9Go is normal.
9Life is showing a no rights screen.
Checking the streams
9HD stream does not exist - it redirects to 9SD
9GEM is running MPEG 2 HD
9Go is normal
9 Life does not exist
Through Sydney terrestrial TV (TCN-8, just incase anyone’s wondering):
The services above the one I highlighted have no content right now.
9HD is back with House.
Nine Southern Cross
5, 50, 51, 52
54
9’s streams just re-set in Brisbane - 9HD is back with
9Gem is back to SD, 9Life is a slide, Extra is back
Perth just came back after displaying sound with the generic Nine logo background, HD watermark is there but no Nine watermark still.
Old pre-2015 Nine watermark and dotless GO indicate that is a backup server. Interesting fault.
Watermark has disappeared in Sydney, HD remains.
Arguably more entertaining content than the usual output of the channel is currently on Extra Sydney right now!
Nine HD has since returned, but the other channels above the one highlighted here have no working content:
So Nine have just returned to a completely different program??? What happened to House?
The 9HD program is transmitted now in 1080i but the programming isn’t HD. All the bit rates are static (instead of adjusting to the stream content).
There were a few flashes of credits.
They’re keeping to schedule. It’s not worth having to cut commercials and advertorials in the early morning to get back on track.
