Any guess on if there will be a change of LCN number? Channel 11 will be on 55. Like 1 on 50 you know it makes sense

ger, delete the Ten channels in your line-up and then re-scan. Afterwards, you should get Eleven on 11 and ONE HD on 12 in addition to 1.

SC10 probably won't have 11 until, or close to, the official starting date of Jan 11, 2011.

Ten has started advertising their new eleven chanel on tv

It's also appeared today in my online TV guide.

No actual programs listed though, just says 'coming soon'.

It will be like this:

ONE HD

TEN SD

ELEVEN SD

Around the same time Packer bought shares in TEN wasn't there talk of them getting rid of ONE HD because it was bombing in the ratings?

At this stage Eleven is likely to be carried on channel 55 by Southern Cross Ten.

Yes, but unlikely to commence until on, or close to, the official starting date for 11, on Jan 11, 2011.

I thought it does not come out till

next year

Great but why did they get rid of 1 hd on ch 12?

[X_PAC]

Obviously Ten is feeling the pressure to launch now that 7mate and Gem are on air... the promo on TV and their website both neglect to hint at when Eleven will start.... not even a vague "coming soon", so presumably it isn't going to be soon.

And yes, that logo is a bit too basic. Looks like something someone's 8yo made in MS Paint.

11 weil be on air so ch 10 say from January 11 2011 GET it JAN 11 in 2011 for ch11

ONE HD is only available on 1 & 12 in HD with the upcoming change

12 used to carry the SD Version of ONE, but now will point to the HD Version

That's right. Two (HD) channels carrying exactly the same thing, while no SD access to the sports content.

Well done channel 10. So much for "free TV".

An HD STB can be purchased at a reasonable price. Some of them cost no more than $60.

[Timmy Downawell]

Two (HD) channels carrying exactly the same thing

There is only one HD channel being streamed, but two LCNs (logical channel numbers) pointing to that stream. Ten could point any number of LCNs at that stream but it won't change the fact that they have only a limited amount of bandwidth with which to play, and under legislation are only permitted to broadcast 1xHD and 2xSD channels (although if they were allowed they could squeeze in a third SD channel as per the ABC).

With the price of HD STBs/PVRs coming down so much it is wasteful to have SD/HD simulcast when you can have two unique channels, which is exactly what they're doing. Shutting down One SD is a win for viewers, not a loss.

Please forgive my ignorance, but can the $60 STB show HD content via my SD TV?

Thanks.

Yes

I have an CRT TV with HD STB and I can view HD channels just fine.

Don't apologise — it was precisely this fact that all the newspapers and the ABC didn't want you to know back when digital TV was getting started, so they could spin the lies that "HDTV will cost everyone $20,000" (like the NBN, but 10 years ago) so that they could push their own self-interests in multichanneling SDTV instead.

This then left us with ten years of "triplecasting" and now that that's finished, four out of five networks are showing their biggest channels in SD only (and the fifth doesn't have any HD production facilities).

CK.

We can also say goodbye to surround sound/5.1 audio streams and HD first run movies, that were heavily promoted back in the days. **** luck for those people why got conned into buying an SD set top box to watch ONE HD (SD mirror). Because Ten promoted it that way. You don't need to have an HD box to watch as its available on SD as well for those with older tvs just need to buy an SD box.

Obviously stations can't make there main channel HD because half the population are still using SD only boxes on old TVs and have no idea that you can simply buy a $50 HD box and watch all the HD channels they are missing, on an old SD only TV.

At Xmas, my folks were still under the impression their 15-year-old Sony CRT wasn't able to play HD DTV content using an HD set top box. It's a confusing mess of information.
