The promos have lots of teasers, but nothing about when.

The TVs picked up 72 without tuning.
The PVR will need scanning, but that will have to wait until it stops recording.

It's a subchannel on whatever channel you get 7 on. Rescan that one.

I can't see a 7 digital network transmitter for the Geraldton area in the ABA list. From where do you get your signal?

Looking at the TV guide , it's all sport and kiddy stuff aimed at teens and the under 30s. IMO it's not worth the bother tuning in for. So I wont bother.

Hardly watch One either for the same reason (only watched a couple movies on One).

Ian, they(7two) have been advertising it.
They are advertising a few other things that look interesting, will wait and see.
ONE is(was) only good for live F1 Grand Prix.

Yeah we got that from their advertising and from the TV guide that comes with the Sunday Mail in QLD. I believe it starts on Thursday but I would check just to make sure you don't miss it.

Newcastle and Lake Macquarie and Hunter Valley must also be second-class citisens too, 7 Two is not available from Mt Sugerloaf.

Surprise.... surprise.....

Guess if there happens to be anything I want see on 7 Two, I'll just have to torrent it too. Least that way I don't have to suffer 20 minutes of adverts trying to sell me pornographic videoclips, snake oil that's supposed to help guys be studs (and get it up) , Harvey Norman Discounts' perpetual "never again" sales, and the like
