While I’m not hopeful that 7HD won’t revert to mate, wouldn’t the explanation of it not being available in HD in sort parts of Queensland support it being on the main channel on 70. If it was on 7mate all of Queensland would get it in HD.

But then, the AFL isn’t available in HD in regional Victoria.

That’s Prime7’s problem…  
Perhaps Prime7’s main channel will soon be in HD (now that the tennis is over, because why do it before)?

And that will be the case regardless of what they do until Prime pull their finger out.

No, 7mate is HD in Prime7 areas.

And if HD was REALLY that important to the AFL, they would

a. Be encouraging Prime7 VIC to move it to 7mate  
b. Ensuring that FOX supplies 7 with a HD feed for games shown on 7 outside of VIC.

Part B is the most baffling part of this whole AFL in HD madness.

I’d imagine that if/when Seven switches back to 7mate HD, we’d see 7mate programing info in the EPG prior to the switch happening.

Although it goes without saying, personally I hope that Seven just leaves the f\*\*\*ing HD channel alone this year and simulcasts the main programing in all markets for at least the majority of the time. Do breakaway AFL programing if you really must, but please don’t switch back to 7mateHD.

Oh well…in any case I really don’t watch all that much on Seven but when I do, I’d prefer to see main channel content in HD because the picture quality of their SD channel is a disgrace!

Are you sure it’s not just you 🙂 ? Spare a thought for all those 7Bogan viewers who are missing their favourite shows in HD. Monster Trucks and Tattoo Disasters aren’t quite the same in SD.

Well how else can they claim 7bogan is the best channel ever? 😛

Regional … where they own and operate it. Makes no sense to me other than to please the AFL. Not like we have an affiliate . Oh well I guess by 2020 it should all be sorted out . Only watch 1 show on there anyway I watch.

Not sure why they don’t. Technical equipment reason perhaps? So how does breakaway programming work ?

Netflix’s SD is better lol.

Given the apparent disinterest in HD though, regional viewers, given a choice, would probably prefer to see Prime start broadcasting 7Flix ahead of HD. Of course both would be better 🙂

I wish Seven would issue some sort of statement on this or there was a story on TV Tonight with an interview with someone from 7 letting us know their plans if any.

If Seven was to stupidly stop broadcasting the primary channel in HD and revert to 7Mate HD in some markets, why does everyone here think it’ll happen the day after the tennis is over?

Surely another likely date is the first appearance of AFL for the year.

Mind you, there has not been one mention during the tennis of HD being available. It’s like their little secret for those who care enough to find it.
