    Depends if your Metro or Rural but WIN HD is GEM (your area) on 80 in regional areas
    Ice Station Zebra is the movie showing at 1445 now.
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    Without checking the ACMA list, what numbers do they use there, 2=ABC, 3=SBS, 5=TEN/Southern Cross, 6= 7 or Prime, 8= NINE or WIN ?
    If so, you should have 8= WIN SD, 80 = GEM (HD), 88 = GO! SD.

    Gigi on 8, Ice station Zebra on 80, Green acres on 88.

    Yes, all your numbers are correct with SD channels, but what happened to WIN HD channel? We are getting SBS HD, One HD Wollongong, WIN shows up as SD MPEG1, maybe WIN HD is no more?

    Win HD was on 80, they stopped showing it and have replaced it with GEM.

    If your watching the movie 'Ice Station Zebra' on GEM 80 NOW at 1620, you have WINHD, check the Info box to see the resolution of 1080.
    WIN along with 7 Prime and TEN dropped the title HD ages ago and when you see what is being screened on the HD portion, you can see why.

    Ok, I had a talk with my mate on the phone and he was looking forward to watching Friday night footy on WIN in HD when it starts, that was the problem. As I can see it he can not get WIN HD channel but as I said before he can get SBS HD so the antenna must be OK for HD signal. Thanks
