Another here who relies on Wagga….. Prime are encouraging us to download shows and once I figure that out, why would I bother coming back???? I would not bother starting watching their Ugly Betty several episodes in when I can get it elsewhere.

Shame….

Well there is just another eason why Australia has the highest per capita bit torrent downloaders. Gee maybe one day FTA channels will wake up and give some credit to its viewers, but by then it will be too late because we will have already seen the shows streamed from the USA etc. Good luck Foxtel and Austar, I dont even know why you bother to talk to these FTA stations and rebroadcast them, let them die a natural death

After making many calls today, I have just been told that Prime have been absolutely swamped with complaints right across the country and have now been “motivated” into action. They are about to put out a press release of some sort regarding 7TWO and Prime. So, hopefully, some answers regarding this total schemozzle for regional viewers will be forthcoming today.

This is just great.
I have been holding off downloading StarGate Atlantis hoping it would come back.
It does, but unfortunately I live about 100 km from Melbourne, so I am a second class citizen.
Screw you Prime.

@Simon.

SC Tasmania made the announcement that 7TWO would be coming to Tassie on their 6 pm bulletin of the day that 7TWO was announced.

Joe ( what ever her name is) announced it . I watched it.

What a good start for a new tv channel,a Michael Jackson concert,it seems their line up is not bad i am so glad that seven executives decided to start it in November and not in February as now us FTA viewers will have something decent to watch over the summer period.

The NT News incorrectly reported that Alice Springs will get 7TWO via SCTV Central.

” … and SCTV would follow a month later. But Alice Springs will now get the new digital channel via SCTV Central.”

This quote shows they have incorrectly used the word “now” instead of “not”. It makes no sense for 7TWO to launch in a market like Alice Springs which doesn’t even have digital commercial services.

just continuing with the bitching about prime.. i thought id add my bit..

Why is prime not showing this channel in wagga!! And every where else that prime looks after (if you can even say that) they show 7hd with no prime branding, why are they going to take another 2 months just to attempt to rebrand this channel when there is no need to!!!

now they have started to localise GO! in regional areas- that screws it over enough already, every time an add breaks comes on GO! in wagga stops half way through an add break and shows adds that are exactly the same as the adds we saw before this breakaway…

sometimes i dont understand why we have regional television, why cant there just be the main metro channels, broadcast everywhere, and just have breakaway news like the goldcoast does… it just doesn’t make sense.

@Ryano – are you saying that, because I live 2 hours away from a capital city, I am not entitled to the same services as you? Seriously??

Ridiculous it doesn’t launch on all platforms in all regions at once. If they’ve got any sense though, they should run catch-up nights of the big shows once it’s up and running everywhere.

@ lazydays, have you run a rescan and maybe cleared your old channels if your equipment lets you do this?

@Ryano – “socialist country folk”? I live on the Central Coast (NSW), and only get Prime because I can’t pick up Seven from here. I don’t consider the Central Coast to be “country”, or myself to be “country folk”. But yes, I do feel that I am entitled to the same TV services that Sydney has, but I unfortunately miss out on.
