AUSTAR, who got what this morning?

[gordon_s1942]

Obviously unless you have a new Mystar2 STB, you wont get the HD channels but what did open for you today ?
I take all the options excluding the Sports package so its still blanked out but everything else appears to be available.
I am curious to see if those who only take the Basic or single options, what has opened for them.

All the new SD channels are available on my Austar boxes.

All the new channels on Austar (Except HD) not part of a subscribed package are supposed to be open, at no charge for two weeks to try them out.

If you already subscribe to a package and it contains any new channels you will get them too.

Existing subscribers will not have to pay anything extra for the new channels/package where there is a change in price until Feb 2010

"Showtime Greats" has now gone forever and been absorbed into the new showtime line up.

Only the names have changed to confound and confuse.
Basicaly all that does is allow Showtime to spread the Genre over several channels instead of all being lumped into the previous group.

Yeah, nothing but colour bars now and the channel title has been changed to yet another 'Spare' channel.
The list of Spares is getting pretty large on them sats!
