    Default VAST WA channel changes from 1st July

    The VAST WA commercial channels are changing tomorrow. This is due to WIN Network signing a new 7 year affiliation agreement with Nine.

    Changes are as follows:

    8. WIN 8. Nine
    80. WIN HD 80. 9HD
    82. BOLD 82. 9Gem
    83. PEACH 83. 9Go!

    9Life will also make a return, but not until 1st August when the Sky News contract runs out:

    85. Sky News on WIN 84. 9Life

    Details about West Digital (the current Nine station) aren't confirmed, but it's expected to end up like this:

    5. NINE 5. 10 HD
    50. 10 HD
    50. 9Gem 51. 10 Bold
    55. 9Go! 52. 10 Peach

    Channel 7 advertises Olympic Games will be broadcast on 7 & 7mate in HD.

    A scan on all VAST channels shows GWN7, 7 Central South, 7 Central North are still SD, but all have 7mate as HD.

    Wonder if above channels will be in HD in time for the games.

    There's absolutely no chance of that happening. 7 Central and GWN7 both use a system of terrestrial retransmitters that can only output in old MPEG-2 digital video format. They can't launch any new channels in MPEG-4 terrestrially, which is required to get a second HD service (7HD) on air. They could just do it for satellite VAST viewers and leave the terrestrial retransmitters as is, but since most of their audience watch their channels through these transmitters, I doubt this would happen either.
