I thought 7 would have more, being the no1 network years on end.

That doesnā€™t make sense.

Seven more than any network seems happy for viewers to watch anywhere

They were the first network to launch live streaming and very actively promote watching via streaming and apps

has any one herd any think about when 7hd is meant to be changing back??

979

Personally, I do not want to see Seven switch itā€™s HD channel back from the main channel to 7mate (in selected markets). We have Nine, Ten, the ABC and SBS broadcasting itā€™s main channel in HD in all major metropolitan markets, so why should we expect any different from Seven?

Even if that means AFL coverage in SD only for Sydney aside from the Grand Final and maybe important finals games featuring the Swans/Giants, then so be it. Although I donā€™t watch much on Seven, when I do Iā€™d like to see main channel programing in HD!

Flick the switch during AFL braodcasts and flick it back at all other times. So simple. SBS used to do it for A-League.

Does regional Qld have the capability to receive a HD broadcast of Channel 7 in MPEG-4 ? Or has equipment not yet been upgraded?

982

Well itā€™s gonna happen theres not much you can do about it. If you donā€™t like it , you donā€™t have to watch any of Sevenā€™s channels at all. Itā€™s the way it is. :slight_smile: Not much we can do about it.

Anyway the main channel in HD is so wasted with Seven half of the crap on the main channel is boring asā€¦ At least 7mate has some movies (good ones at least) that are worth to watch in HD.

I can expect the change over to happen beginning of next week.

same here couldnā€™t give two sh*ts about afl ahahah especially when they come up with such a stupid idea lol.

why donā€™t free to air ever do two hd channels? is there not enough bandwidth?

984

Unfortunately no.

And If they were to make 7 mate HD only (they would probably need to make it MPEG4 to do this), some people would not be able to view this channel at all since older TVs can only receive the older MPEG2 signals.

Thatā€™s nice, but i do care about the AFL in my state, and I care about in HD. And if Seven says it works better with 7mate HD for Perth then, yeah it will work. With the two hour time during the afl season, makes sense for Channel 7 to do this for Perth.

May be a stupid idea to you or to some of you - if it works - then it works. Deal with it. :slight_smile:

986

But would this be a viable way to ā€˜forceā€™ people to adopt MPEG-4, by using a significant multichannel?

987

I think it would.

988

Yes, but they want as many viewers as possible right now, not exclude part of their audience. Seven tried that with 7Flix and ditched the idea. The networks have MPEG4 for their main channels, but only because thereā€™s an SD alternative.
