Guy raises a very good question

A Standard Digital set top box is a lot cheaper to buy then a High Definition set top box – I got mine for about $40. 7TWO is on a standard digital station so even if you just get a SD set top box you will be right to watch Lost.

Well well well Peter, I am Not too cheap to get a set top box,( I actually have one) but I work a nightshift and I Don’t own an expensive PVR or equivelant.So I am one of those people who will have to wait for the boxed set to come out. Please stop referring to people who can’t or won’t buy a STB as ‘cheap’.

I have a question though isnt the fact that its shown on Seven just a couple of hours after that the ratings are combined because its the same show, same episode?

7 should not be playing Lost on 7 at all, no other network does things like this. it should be a 7two exclusive to further expose 7two. people can live without HD the whole channel ten dosen’t have any shows in HD. there are lots of people i know that have never watched 7two that will be watching Lost there, why jeopardise these viewers? what message is it sending to non-digital people – don’t worry about getting a stb, we are going to play all the best stuff on 7 for you to record anyway.

and judging by these coments all it has done is cause people to complain. they may as well save themselves the grief. and now every show in the future on 7two that isn’t aired on 7 also will have people’s permission to complain “but you did it for Lost”

I think this is actually a pretty good idea. I think that Seven may be doing this in an attempt to increase uptake of digital television.

And for those without, at least they are not left in the dark altogether in terms of “Lost” episodes.

For Seven Network, Southern Cross, Prime/GWN & WIN SA viewers it’s actually got nothing to do with ‘Room For Improvement’ at 12:30am (& the WIN News repeat in regional SA). ‘Room For Improvement’ is just filler before the unmovable mountain at 1am, otherwise known as the Home Shopping bloc. The only thing that gets in the way of Home Shopping is if some sport programming runs overtime, while other programs like ‘Lost’ can wait a week or so.

There’s no money in keeping ‘Lost’ up-to-date with 7TWO, while there is money leaving Home Shopping untouched. Maybe we’re blaming the wrong program here?

@Peter

You need a STB to watch it on 7HD. I have a HD TV and like to watch progs in HD. That’s why I never watch Ten progs that are obtainable in HD by other means.

Geez, who don’t own a digital set top box or a digital TV yet? And why? Just lazy or can’t afford to spend at most $70-90? Get out of the stone age already and just buy one!

Yes it’s a shame it’s not in HD, but this is Australian networks remember, they have to let you down some how. You should be grateful they’re playing it a week later.

I actually don’t have digital TV and so am delighted Ch 7 has seen fit to screen Lost on its usual channel as well.

Clever way of doubling its audience – although I’m upset it hasn’t done the same thing for Heroes, which is only shown on 7Two.

Knowing me, I’ll probably get a digital TV the week before the signal is switched off in 3 years time.

As always it’s not about the quality of the picture but the quality of the shows!!!!

This is channel seven doing this *after* they lost the iiNet lawsuit….

In this day and age, if you have a computer with the internet, then you should have a digital set top box.
I think the replay on the main channel is just to silence the cheap viewer whos too cheap to pay less then $50 for a stb, or for the lone regional who still cant receive digital signals.
Be happy its getting a play on the main channel anyway, i dont see heroes getting a main channel replay, and one would assume given their past ratings, the two shows have a similar audience

It seems ironic that at a time when virtually all new TVs for sale are “True HD” and more and more shows are shot in HD, our TV stations offer less and less content in HD

Don’t see the big deal really I mean for instance all channel 10 shows are not in HD because of 1hd, all other shows on 7two and most GO shows other then Big Bang Therory, Wipeout and maybe the odd movie that screen on 9 are in not in HD and finially with the 3rd digital channels coming won’t that mean 7 and 9 content won’t be in HD content any longer unless they are breakaway channels during non primetime. I mean it is still airing on seven hd who cares if you have to wait an extra week.
