In Perth 7 is in HD not 7mate
You’ve quoted a three year old post there; the latest revision reflects the current situation

Just reading through the thread and noticed a few minor points.
7 HD is also available in regional QLD on channel 7 and 70.
When I was visiting Toowoomba recently, 7food Network was on LCN 74.
All other 7-based channels were in the 60’s, but 7food network was on 74 for some reason.
Also noticed in the table that is attached that WIN HD in Northern NSW is listed as LCN 80 when it should be LCN 50.

Irony is - if you’re in WIN monopoly territory then 7MATE is already in HD lmao

Hehe, go for it.
I dont quite buy this - Prime7 have already been recalcitrant with launching new services (7flix, 7food come to mind)

Its bandwidth that prime7 would have to make available.and I don’t think prime7 have the money to upgrade all the towers again
That’s not how it works. No tower upgrades necessary (except in the remote licence areas). It would only a require a change to their playout structure which is then all combined into the multiplex before being sent to the tower.

i thought that not long after i posted it lol iam a dummy sometimes lol
would that require$$$ ??? or would it be that prime7 be lazy again?
I was being somewhat flippant; money is key of course, but the idea is once owned by 7WM, they (7) would do channel changes across-the-board (including internally budgeting the overall cost), rather than the current situation where it’s only 7’s stations and then Prime7 playing catching up.
if you read the Article on Tv tonight says 7mate today switches to HD >around the country< through Seven. umm it should stated Metro only its kinda misleading

Okay. I’m responding to the quote Andy made which is present in the current version of the article. “Through Seven” implies transmission in Seven O&O markete, not areas covered by Prime or WIN or Southern Cross
“Seven” can easily be shorthand for the 7 network which I’d say (most normal TV viewers) would include Prime7, GWN7 and especailly SCA’s 7 stations as they not only run 7 promos (all of the affiliates now do) but SCA’s 7 stations are fully 7 branded.
It’s just a stuff up from someone who lives in a metro capital city (out-of-sight, out-of-mind).
