Have they removed any channels or how did they cram them all into one frequency? eg. is the picture quality worse?
Could they be doing maintenance?
That was part of the maintenance

None removed but yep all crammed onto that frequency. Funny how there’s not enough space for new channels like 7Bravo, 7Flix etc but plenty for all those on that frequency. Pic quality no different

All the channels are MPEG4 aren’t they? Definitely possible, especially since it’s just 2 HDs and 4 SDs.
Missing multichannel aren’t about spectrum, it’s about advertising dollars. No extra money would be coming in if they introduced those services. There’s no point running them at a loss, especially when regional FTA is all about trimming whatever fat they can find.

I’ve noticed the last few days watching WIN Illawarra’s main channel that there seems to be mistimed feed switches, like they are late leaving and rejoining the network feed by about a second or so. Has anyone else noticed that?

WIN screwed up it’s news headlines during the jackpot round of Tipping Point this afternoon, showing this frozen picture for around 20 seconds, before returning to Tipping Point straight out of the update:

That reminds me, when I was in Tasmania, I once saw an ad at that time when there was supposed to be a news update towards the end of Tipping Point.
And in Bendigo, WIN were late returning from an ad break to the 6pm news a couple of times.

7 Regional often (but not every night) have a five second promo (often for a 7plus show) between the Seven News Melbourne update and the second half of the final chase.
Back when it was branded as Prime7, they would have a five second ident.

The same is being aired on channel 54 in Newcastle, so probably either a Crawfords/classic TV channel or another infomercial channel (maybe GOLD2)

Possibly Nickelodeon in Northern NSW and 9Rush in the Nine WIN markets

be good if they did, but i thought the reason why they haven’t done it already was because there wasn’t enough room for advertisers for 4 channels?
i seriously think this will just be more home shopping/infomercials tbh

That is an extremely long LCN name! Wonder how it shows up on some TV’s.
Regarding getting 9Rush or Nickelodeon on WIN, I feel like that could just be wishful thinking, we may just get something like GOLD 2. A Crawfords channel would be better though.
