Prime have agreed to show it, why are Southern Cross dragging their tails? I think I was spoilt with GO! starting on time…

David, any idea of what date it will be available on Foxtel? Will it be when they introduce the new channels in mid November?

Can anyone explain why CH7, 9, 10 treats the deaf viewers with contempt and discrimination by having the programs closed captioned on the new channels GO 7Two and One?

Some programs previously had closed captionings (Frasier, The Nanny, Seinfeld etc) and yet does not show it currently?

And please, don’t tell me they cannot afford it! If they can afford to buy the AFL TV rights, surely they can afford to have the programs captioned?!

They have taken 7two off the regional NSW and VIC sites in Freeview, Not looking good !

Why are people making a big deal about getting these free to air channels on Foxtel? Isn’t the main reason you pay for Foxtel is because of the lame content on free to air?

Otherwise, just pick up the other remote and change the channel! Seems like people are too lazy to change the channel on a remote these days!

just ran a re-scan and they haven’t changed the channel name yet, it still says “7 digital 2″ wonder when they will change this? I’m also hoping they will load up the EPG now that it is a workday because yesterday both 7 and 72 were blank. 7TWO is also not on the yahoo7 online guide yet, we know what the schedule is but it would be good if this info started filtering through to everywhere else instead of just the one webpage. It is also doubtful that this will be in printed guides for the first week or 2 because they left the announcement so late.

What I’m trying to figure out is what are they showing that features Robert Carlyle? Can anyone pick where that shot is from?

@barrett and all the regional viewers

Prime will launch 7TWO on Saturday ahead of the middday launch next Sunday. It will carry the 7TWO brand.

Ch Mate! does seem like a Ch7 idea though as they aim at that aussie battler demo which would lap it up. The new one is better but fairly unimaginative which is mirrored in the content.

Looking on the Prime / iprime websites there is no mention of the new channel at all.

Have yet to see any info / promotion on local Prime channels (6′60′61′62) and Prime website tv guide shows next Sunday as only Prime and Prime HD when 7two launches.

Doesn’t look good for regional viewers.

“Channel Mate” kinda sounds like a programmable remote control to me. Especially with some of the logos.

To me it would make more sense to have the word “two” underneath the 7 numeral instead of next to it. This current 7two logo is going to make one ugly watermark. I don’t mind though because this channel is too crap for me to watch!

Does anyone know what number it will be on Prime? Will it take the place of Primeview 2?
