7 Mate HD (Melb) returns from the dead?
7 Mate HD (Melb) returns from the dead?
HI,
I haven't read this anywhere, but my wife noticed today that 7HD & 7Mate were showing the same programs. I had a look, and it appears 7 have followed SBS in having a 2nd HD channel (probably), now just need to find where 7HD is!

There is only one HD service. This change is for 24 hours to allow some football game to be in HD without it being on the primary channel.

Hi,
Maybe later then! They are nothing if not sheep.
I liked the 7Mate HD, 9GEM HD, & ONE HD channels. I recorded a lot of shows (most of which I still haven't watched!)
Probably 'cause they were recorded with my old Toppy, and it's not connected to anything anymore. Especially not it's HDD, but luckily the recordings were all on a NAS.

Ah, OK. That would be why there is no new 7 HD.blip wrote:There is only one HD service. This change is for 24 hours to allow some football game to be in HD without it being on the primary channel.

7mate in HD in Melbourne & Adelaide just for the Richmond vs. Melbourne match -
"The AFL has agreed to Monday night’s Richmond-Melbourne ANZAC Day eve clash screening on 7mate in Melbourne & Adelaide, so that My Kitchen Rules can screen on Seven’s primary channel.
Seven’s six-year broadcasting agreement with the AFL requires matches to be played in HD, but Seven has agreed to switch on its HD signal for 7Mate in order to show the game."

Re: 7 Mate HD (Melb) returns from the dead?
What a mess it's made of recordings for the night. Ice had no idea. I don't even send the 7 SD epg to the Wiz.
Flip-flopping the content of their HD service is rediculous. They really can't get over the concept of their "primary" and "secondary" services.
Once again, 7 leads the charge to try and kill FTA TV. Absolutely no respect to their viewer.
Maybe I'm just still upset about waiting 3 hours for a delayed broadcast of the football on the weekend by 7 in Adelaide.
And don't get me started on 7's pathetic "HD" quality and 2.0 sound.

Apologies

IceTV certainly did know of the change, as both "Tiphanee" and "Dave at IceTV" from IceTV posted on IceTV's own forum in the thread that discussed the change - http://forum.icetv.com.au/iceforum/icet ... 8#msg30038scotty wrote:What a mess it's made of recordings for the night. Ice had no idea.

Hmm. But didn't fix Adelaide even though the article they linked to mentioned both.Grumpy_Geoff wrote: IceTV certainly did know of the change, as both "Tiphanee" and "Dave at IceTV" from IceTV posted on IceTV's own forum in the thread that discussed the change...

Seven certainly caused a problem of epic proportions but IceTV didn't cover itself in glory in responding.Grumpy_Geoff wrote:7mate in HD in Melbourne & Adelaide just for the Richmond vs. Melbourne match -

MKR did not record on either the T3 or the T4 because they are set to record HD only. One of them did record a program called MKR but which was actually the AFL, as well as separately recording the AFL, called the AFL. Why one but not both is a mystery that escapes reason.
The whole point of IceTV is supposed to be that it has the smarts to record what we want to watch, when we want to watch it. We're not supposed to ever miss a favourite event! It's a good thing the P2 did record the 7 SD channel because there would have been mayhem if we missed it.
Not happy IceTV...

I never use the "only" SD/HD options; always "prefer".

Re: 7 Mate HD (Melb) returns from the dead?
I was using that setting but started getting two recordings on odd occasions, notably Doctor Who on both the ABC HD and the ABC ME channels and MKR on 7HD and 7SD. Given the convoluted mess you are sorting out with other IceTV timer issues, I haven't wanted to confuse that discussion. Haven't seen the other issue so just let it slide pending the outcome of that other work.prl wrote:That sounds like a case of "do what I meant, not what I said".Paul_oz53 wrote:...

Certainly Seven is the prime culprit here but the first we knew of this schmozzle was after the programs had aired. Still not impressed that one unit recorded 7HD as MKR and gave us football instead. Clearly, a timer did not update as it should on that unit.
And yeah, when I said record MKR, I really meant: ... ignore my wrong choices if some other idiot does something even more stupid...
