why is one hd on baseball there are hundreds of others sports that people are interested in and we live in australia so dont follow the baseball like we do the golf or cricket or football or horse racing/dressage. Can you please offer some variety.

Dont hold your breath for ONE to come to austar as it is all on satellite so will still have to wait until the new sat has been launched so once again we in regional areas are being screwed!!!!!

No updates yet. In coming weeks it will be time to press for further clarity.

On the One issue, any update on when Southern Cross Ten, TDT and DDT are going to actually get One? Nothing from any of them, except TDT getting a battering in the (Hobart) Mercury on a regular occasion.

Jason – Sky News…….

Saw the Sky UK feed last night at 12:30am – they decided to broadcast 4:3 and put blue bars on each side…….

Sky business channel overnight carries 16:9 fox business channel though

The wait for this sattelite is the longest damn wait in the history of television – how many years have we been waiting for Ch 7 on Foxtel now? Just take away the channels nobody watches like ACC and Expo and clear some space that way.

“David Knox says:

ONE SD doesn’t re-transmit if the show is already on TEN and ONE HD at the same time.”

Correct. But what will Foxtel be broadcasting – ONE-SD or an SD version of ONE-HD? As you have pointed out there is a difference between ONE-SD and ONE-HD.

Will the SD version on Foxtel be a rebroadcast of ONE-SD which features the compelling program ‘Not Available’ on some Saturday and Sunday afternoons or will it be an SD feed of ONE-HD?

Camo, I think you’ll see ONE on SC10 a few weeks after Foxtel / Austar viewers do from what MSCM have recently said to the ASX. It coincides with AFL finals

now if Austar gets the jump on Sthn X TEN, well that would be a great bonus, as we have been hearing for months the ONE HD is coming to regional viewers…. blah blah blah

Old news.. its been mentioned on ONE-HD’s own webpage when ONE-HD was launched! ‘The Australia’ your slow off the mark on this one!

I had to get satellite when I moved to a townhouse – had no idea of some of the limitations in foxtel’s broadcast via that over cable……get the satellite up!

On a side note – good to see sky now in 16:9 – however the ticker placement annoys me a bit now…. the text looks super squashed in the middle now with the big white blocks on each side
