hmm.. everyone’s opinion of SCTV and TDT management grows daily worse while we all wait for a rough estimate of when we might get a rough estimate of when we might roughly expect to actually see transmission..

It was actually SC 10 boss Greg Dodgson who had told me July 2nd for Tassie, not Stephen Giles. Ditto the reason for the delay. TDT’s Stephen Giles said he hoped to have a Press Release out during the week but obviously that didn’t yet happen. Not defending anyone here, just clarifying the issue…

surprise surprise….
another broken promise by the networks. I knew it was too good to be true, Tassie might eventually get One HD by July 3rd in the year 2015 !!!
Stephen Giles, if you cant deliver what you promise you shouldnt be in the job. Maybe the network needs someone in that position that can deliver on its commitments. You cant even get a press release out to the public. What hope have we got of ever getting this channel? “Unforeseen circumstances”, such a easy response. Sounds like BS to me!

Perhaps Mr Giles’ most eloquent statement so far was having SCTV screen the Melbourne vs WCE game this afternoon in HD with the ONE LIVE logo prominent in the top right corner.

I’m ex pat Hobart boy living in Melbourne disgusted that Tassie just cannot get its act together with services…

I really do want to move back but there are just so many things Hobart is still missing. It is after all a capital city yet foxtel is branded under austar. Adsl2+ is hardly available and even if it is it runs at a 10th of the speed as my connection in melbz at 20Mbps.
Why cant the channels just be 7, 10 and 9 here?? I’m hella confused throw out the rubbish channels of TDT, Southern Cross and Win.
Bring on ONEHD trust me you guys that don’t think you will like it will like it. More sport will move to One and free up your other channels.
And god I’m glad I’ll be back in Melbz this week to watch the live F1 Qualifiers and live F1 Race.

“Managing Director of TDT I spoke to on Wednesday. Committed to ONE HD.”

Seems to me he’s only committed to silence over ONE HD.

Right.. up to you whether you to decide whether he would know more than the Managing Director of TDT I spoke to on Wednesday. Committed to ONE HD. No plans for SD (Southern Cross also has no plans for SD).

Spoke to a bloke at JBHiFi who said Tassie will get ONEHD some time but it will be in SD not HD

can’t Mr Giles find the switch

I guess there have been more “unforeseen circumstances” or perhaps Mr Giles is having trouble finding the right form of words to say how sorry he is to be so incompetent at foreseeing circumstances, that he has to repeatedly break his word.
