TEN will switch on TEN HD today at 3pm AEDT on Channel 13.

The channel uses MPEG4 technology meaning some older sets may not be able to access the channel, but an SD simulcast will remain on Channel 10.

TEN HD will be available in metro markets in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and the Gold Coast plus overlap markets, where TEN and Southern Cross signals overlap, eg, Wollongong and Gosford. Southern Cross is not planning to launch TEN HD in the markets it covers meaning other regional viewers will miss out for now.

It will be available to Foxtel cable subscribers, but not satellite subscribers.

How do I know if my TV set can receive TEN HD?

If you have a compatible HD TV set that auto tunes, you may see a pop-up with new
channels. Just hit “OK” and go to Channel 13. If not, you can re-tune your TV set by going to
“Set Up” then “Auto Tune” to receive Channel 13.

How do I re-tune my TV set to receive Channel 13/TEN HD?

It is easy and takes just a few minutes.

Go to your TV Menu settings. Click on Set Up and then the Auto Tuning option.

Auto Tuning
Menu or Home button on remote control
Press OK
Settings or Set Up

Press OK
It will take a few minutes to do the re-scan. This will search and tune the all the channels.
You can then exit and select Channel 13

The first programme on the new-look TEN HD is Judge Judy. TEN previously launched TEN HD before it was rebranded as ONE.

  1. Just checked out WIN TV’s GEM channel and it is now showing the correct aspect ratio. I wonder at what sort of “technical issue” took 6 days to correct!

  2. Did 10 buy the HD masters for the x-files revival or only the SD ones? The reason I ask is the finale is being repeated on Friday night, any chance it would be the HD series finale for the xfiles or just the same master as the one used on sunday night(sd)?

  4. I wonder why the Sunshine Coast is not regarded as an “overlap” market. We are closer to Brisbane than both Gosford and Wollongong are to Sydney, yet we are denied !0HD.
    My TCL TV and two strong STB’s pick up Nine & Seven Brisbane channels, admittedly only when the skies are clear, but not the Network Ten signals. I know this must be a freak of nature because we are not supposed to get capital city transmissions.
    And, still no resolution of WIN’s GEM’s aspect ratio disaster! Been three full days now.

  5. Out of curiosity do we know how HD simulcast channels rate in comparison to their SD counterparts? When I think of my own own TV habits I tend to just press 9, 10 or 3, out of long time habit. I don’t usually think to go to the HD versions.
