    Default 7HD Melbourne channel 70

    Has anyone else noticed that channel 70 (7HD) has magically become 7mate in HD overnight?

    Central West NSW still shows 60 (stupid regional numbering) as Prime (our 7)but 7Mate is still on 63 in SD.
    This TV has no MPEG4 Tuner so its easy to tell if the transmission is in SD or HD.
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    Yes I noticed it too. I did a rescan hoping that 7HD would magically reappear but sadly no. I'm in the Melbourne area.

    HD70 changes to Mate from 7/70 because of AFL transmission.
    We all complain if AFL isn't HD but there is only 1 HD channel.
    Channel 7 puts AFL on Mate makes it HD by transmitting to channel number 70.
    Therefore, My Kitchen Rules (MKR) can stay on 7 and there is no disruption to all the folk watching.
    This is because special game on ANZAC Eve.
