Anywhere outside of Perth Metro here in WA the only digital channels we have and seem that we’ll ever have are ABC & SBS.

Regional WA is so behind the times thanks to GWN & WIN holding us back on analogue dark ages until apparently 2013.

The ACMA should of allowed a independent 3 Digital licence here in WA to commence transmissions long ago and that might of got GWN & WIN off the backsides to do something a bit quicker as i don’t think they could be any slower.

I’d be glad to watch anything thats shown on the 7two or Onehd let alone complain about the content – i’d even watch a test pattern if it meant something different than ABC or SBS for the next 3 years to justify why i have a Set Top Box.

Amazing that people in Prime territory think they’re “second class citizens” because of the lack of 7TWO. There’s millions of people around the country waiting for basic digital services to start, let alone multi-channels. Just be patient, and stop making yourselves look like idiots.

I’m quite thankful for both Go and 7two repeating prime time shows after midnight… when there is just too much on during peak to watch at least I can rely on the repeat screening to make sure I don’t miss out…

@Jed: i do agree with u that 7 is smart with advertising 7TWO on its main channel but i still prefer 7TWO having better visuals.
surprisingly, i dont watch any channel 9 shows but i do watch GO!

7TWO should get rid of that annoying 200% Aussie Tom Williams – I hate his voice.

GO! has many more shows I watch than any of the others.

i agree, there is too much jetsons, flinstones, bewitched, TMZ, IDOJ, on Go.

on the other hand, theres not much better on 72….

so the figures for the repeated shows get averaged instead of added together, that’s a bit silly, the average is not important, how many people actually watched the show is what matters. hopefully this will be somewhat rectified when they start measuring timeshifting because since 7two I am heavily relying on the GO! repeats and I doubt I’m the only one. I think my 99 and 72 viewing is now equal to or more than my viewing of the traditional commercial channels.

sigh, sounds good this new 7 two channel, but sadly I cant see it, I live in a Prime broadcast area and they don’t want us to see it

You are all Lucky to have 7TWO and be able to watch the shows you have been loyal to for years. Down here on the NSW South Coast we are in the TV wilderness and being treated like second-class citizens. We have GO! and ONE but we can’t even get an answer from our Seven affiliate (Prime) as to whether/when they may even be starting to screen 7TWO. In the meantime, we are missing out on new series of Ugly Betty, Heroes, Reaper – and more. If Prime don’t start screening 7TWO next year, we will miss the final season of LOST and 24. Prime – Bringing It Home…Sometime. So much for viewer loyalty in television these days…

i agree @jed, this way people who are watching seven might see an ad for a show they like and then watch it on 7two, with go! unless you actually go out of your way to cheek you don’t know what’s on.
