    Default Austar ABC QLD gone?

    I noticed last night that on my mystar box ABC1 QLD had disapeared although I could still get ABC1 sydney on 102 , I rang austar and they told me its "because of the new satellite and all the configuring needed" they also told me it would be a few weeks before it it returned. Has anyone else lost local ABC?

    I've also noticed this. I'm pissed off that it's gone as it means we have to watch the ABC on 102 an hour ahead now. I hope that the ABC QLD channel comes back.
    At least you got a response from Austar, rammaoz.. Normally they just ignore their customers as they only have like 5 people in their call centre these days don't they?

    ABC2 on 126 (ABC2 SE/NSW) is running ok for here and I am sure it was working ok last night but I have noticed pixeling at times on ABC2 so I was thinking there is a possibly a problem with the feed before it goes up to the satelitte.
    Remember that Austar has nothing to do with any part of the transmissions of programs or content as they are simply an 'On Seller'.
    All they have control over is who see's what.
    The ABC send the feed to Optus who then send it to the satelitte so I would be addressing the complaint to the ABC.
    The ABC or the Fed Govt pays for that service to Optus and you pay with your '8 Cents a Day' so as a paying customer, start bitching !!!
    The ABC and SBS are regarded as 'Free Services' by Austar but if you dont have a sub, you cant see it.
