Thanks for the clarification. I reckon the HD logo on the info plate is triggered when it’s a 720p or 1080p/i stream. This makes sense as the IP versions are available through iview and SBSOD are mostly 720p. Probably explains why Foxtel don’t treat them or advertise them as HD with a mixed bag of resolutions on offer.
Foxtel viewers getting a better Freeview linear experience is interesting. Just goes to show the benefits of having ownership over end user equipment. The transition from terrestrial to IP is a lot easier!
Should also note after checking today’s satellite scans that very recently the SD satellite versions of the ABC and SBS channels have changed transponders for some reason.
