Depends where you live and whether you are satellite or cable, hence many looking forward to the new satellite.

Itsross, first off do not presume you have a right to say where i may post. 2ndly that “minor spread” affected 300,000 users. 3rd it was a hardware issue, so it was highly appropiate to this thread

Does this finally mean that Foxtel customers finally will get Channel Seven?

Darryn I don’t see what a small spread 3G outage has to do with a Satellite going up. Wrong place.

“Does an Austar customer say yay to this news?”

Austar customers are ROFL at this….how many years behind Foxtel are they in delivering not only HD but standard channels as well – 111 hits being the latest example.

Goes up on August 18th, if no more delays are met.

After testing, you would likely see October and November being the timeframe for the new channels.

Austar are hoping to have their HD MyStar out by mid-November now apparently.

foxtel could of provide its 25 new channels by the end of the year by now if this satellite when up and it was ment to back in march i think, but anyways its good that it is going to go up next month and im looking forward to all the new foxtel channels and when the government starts their FTA satellite service next year.
