As NQCQTV2 said, if you can Ten HD, you should be able to get 7flix too. Try a complete rescan; maybe you need to delete your existing channel list first.
Yes, and both channels are using the same MPEG-4 compression, so you should either be getting both or none.
Is there a technical reason for the volume being a lot lower on 13 than on SD channels?
Maybe something to do with the audio being Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound on Ten (and Nine) HD, compared to the stereo audio of other channels?
Madam Secretary is in SD. Is the news and Studio 10 (confirmed to me) the programs that are going to be shown in HD?!? What a joke.

You know whatā¦
With my Samsung telly, YES, the audio on both Nine HD and Ten HD is a lot quieter the it is with SD
But!
Via my Panasonic HDD recorder, the audio on HD is LOUDER on HD than on SD -again for both Nine and Ten.
So I think it comes down to how your receiver processes MPEG 4.

On some systems the AC3 audio that the HD channels use sounds softer because it is less compressed than the MPEG that the SD channels use - it is actually a good thing as it provides a wider dynamic range. 13 is louder on my system. Sometimes there is an adjustment that can be made hidden somewhere in the audio settings of the device.

Presumably whatever sport Ten still have on their main channel will most likely be HD, but apart from that I have no idea what else will be shown in HD.
Sounds like a massive fuck up. They really should have nearly all their programming including news in HD. For fuck sake itās 2016.

Thatās the problem. Whatās the point of a HD channel if you donāt show anything (apart from news/current affairs) in HD?
Itās a kick in the face to viewers when theyāre watching a show in SD and then see an ad in HD.

Iām a Celebrityā¦ was HD.
Yes, agree āMadam Secretaryā looks to be SD, which is rather ordinary.
I canāt imagine it being produced in SD in this day and age - hopefully TEN get this rectified and get HD copies of this show in future.
TEN should be doing what Nine did and be removing the HD watermark from any shows that are upscaled SD.

Were you watching it in South Africa? If thatās HD then 9HD is in 4k.

Nine even manage to air stuff Good Morning America at 3.30am (of all shows!) in HD, yet Ten canāt air key primetime programing in HD? I really donāt know what to say about thatā¦
And yes, I know that Nine has the odd show (Hot Seat comes to mind) still produced in SD along with whatever local bulletins that arenāt HD ready but at least almost all major primetime programs (both on a local and international basis) movies and sporting events on Nineās main channel are shown in HD!
I agree. They may as well have left things as they were until Ten was 100% ready to run a HD primary channel with a decent majority of their major programs being shown in HD.
Can anyone confirm whether or not The Project aired in HD tonight?
The Project to my eyes appeared in HD. Detail was better then the SD channel.
Iām a Celebrity is definitely SD. It may look better as it is now upscaled Mpeg4 with a decent bitrate which may make it look smoother.

Well I THOUGHT it was ??? I only had a pretty quick look.
They announced they would be in HD tonight on The Project last night.
Thanks, Iāll look for it because itās bloody annoying when you channel surf and each channel is at a different level. I recorded The Project on 13 on my Topfield PVR tonight and when I played it back I had turn the volume up to 60. Unacceptable.
Iām a Celebrity was absoutely in HD
One thingās for sureā¦the picture quality of Tenās SD channel is now almost on par with that of a 360p YouTube video!
Not from exactly the same scene, but hereās two caps (one from LCN-10, the other from LCN-13) of a similar scene. Even if not in native HD, Iām sure that you can tell the difference:

The graphics apart from some text wasnāt in HD, studio shots to me looked HDish but soft.
Maybe it was shown in HD in Brisbane, no way it was HD here.
