Exactly - they’ve got 4-5 months to promote a change for the next AFL season of switching 7Mate to HD only in all markets (as it was anyway) and advising on how to continue receiving it if you don’t have MPEG4. 7 can switch to HD in the meantime and remain in HD, then 7mate switch of it’s SD channel and begin broadcasting in HD in March. That then opens the door for them to at least make the change with 7Two not too long after. ---

> [@Nick](#): > > This may sound a bit strange, but would it be possible for the networks to do what Britain have done and supply all channels in SD and HD Only if they use ridiculously low bitrates – e.g. 1 Mbps per SD station (a blocky mess) and about 3.5 Mbps per HD station (would look reasonable). Each broadcaster has 23 Mbps; with the figures I gave, that would add up to 22.5 Mbps. I guess the horrible image quality on the SD stations would encourage HD uptake. ---

The EPG for 7HD Adelaide is a bit mixed up: it’s listing content for 7mate while it’s actually simulcasting Seven. Hopefully this is not some kind of dark omen… Is anyone in Melbourne receiving a similar problem? ---

7HD is back in Sydney, simulcasting the prime channel. Hope it’s permanent this time 😉 From Wikipedia: On 16 December 2016, 7HD switched from simulcasting 7mate to simulcasing Seven’s primary channel in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth for the Australian Open Tennis, while 7mate was reduced to an SD channel on Channel 73 in those markets. It will revert back to being an simulcast of 7mate in those markets by the start of the 2017 AFL season ---

Seven have been advertising the new AFLW competition which starts on February 3 as airing live and in HD nationally (except some parts of Qld). This pretty much confirms that 7mate will go back to being the HD channel in Perth, Sydney and Brisbane once the tennis finishes. ---
