    Default North v South programming

    Disappointed to see the The NRL Footy Show airing before The AFL Footy Show on Imparja South.

    Yep this is what happened with Imaparja on Aurora. Correct me if Í'm wrong but the southern beam includes NSW (with its population figures it will outrate the rest). Was pleasantly surprised to the see the NAB cup in really awesome HD on One last night. Apparently 10 have the rights to the NAB Cup finals, hence the Friday night broadcast. Unfortunately footy will revert to to 7 for the season proper with the worst quality SD outside broadcast quality I've ever seen (hope and pray they loose the rights).

    Why cant they have the NRL footy show on one Chanel & the AFL Footy show on another channel at the same time,

    They have three channels to choose from, (Main channel, GEM & GO),

    everyone is going digital, so everyone will have the choice of three channels,

    & those still getting analogue will be getting what they get now,

    but you won't be able to please everyone.... someone would then complain they want to watch both NRL & AFL

    if you look at the news broadcasts, channels 7 & 10 come from Melbourne and channel 9 is the Sydney feed. You'll get all the AFL you want on 7 and 9 will show NRL

    Dont forget that at the moment NSW except for Aurora/Black spot users isnt due for the changeover untill January 2011 so MAYBE they may then remove everything from South of that line that runs from Sydney to Broken Hill and calling it NSW South and return it to NSW instead of lumping it with Victoria.
    They have all those '400' news channels with bugger all on them to use for such events if they were a mind too.

    There seems to be some sort of misunderstanding about "BEAMS".
    The only way that they can separate N & S, is via individual channels with channel entitlements depending on your location.
    The same applies to E & W.
    Every Channel is available Australia wide, but your entitlement changes as does Aurora.
    Kindest Regards, " The Druid ".

    Its weird because in Qld it was NRL on analogue 9 and AFL on Digital 9 for the last few years.
    I never had access to digital and still don't......... yet

    and now that I'm about to they change the format

    .......lucky both shows are total rubbish

    Fair eough B4L about the beams, but the way it is now NSW may as well be divided in half and the 2 parts ( NSW South) to Victoria and (NSW North) to Queensland.
    With the exception of the NORMAL programs which are seen everywhere and dont have 'Borders' are no problem but those like the VFL/AFL or NRL games and the state based 'Footy Shows' could be put on one of the '400' channels as could the Capitol City News for each state.
    Even the 'News Noodles' are short on NSW content.

    As I see it the regions are non daylight saving (Qld and NT) northern, and daylight saving (NSW, Vic, Tas and SA) southern. Have a look at Smaccas guides.

    True. But that's to be expected as Imparja on Aurora is aligned to Qld, the largest NRL state. Imparja North, which is the exact same as Imparja on Aurora, also does this. It's just a shame that they haven't taken advantage of their new South channel and made it appeal to South viewers.

    Geez, I hope not. Those channels are the worst quality ever seen on television. Analog in the 70s was better than those channels. I reckon they need to tap into GO! South and show AFL Footy Show live. That's if Nine aren't showing it on GEM, which I haven't researched as yet.

    I think you mean it was NRL Footy Show on Nine Analog and SD Digital, and AFL Footy Show on Nine HD.

    The '400' channels look ok to me but the choice is simple, is it better to at least have the programs to see or go without because you want to see the mud,blood and spit in HD?

    Untill we got PayTV I rarely watched most sports because the analog signal from the FTA was such you couldnt see either a Cricket or Golf ball because of the 'snow' even in colour.

    I think you missed my point. The regional news channels have been purposely reduced in quality so they can squeeze more channels in. Davmel made a note of this a few months ago:

    They're actually not fit for showing sports content, because movement is shown as a pixelated, broken up mess. Way below SD standards. GO! would be a much better option for showing the alternate Footy Show, and that's not HD.

    While on the Subject of North & South Programming,

    They are the exact same Providers for North & South Vast

    Much the same As ABC & SBS (in different states)

    Why not make North & South Vast available to all Vast users in the East

    NRL & AFL problem solved.......

    Qld can tolerate Floods,Cyclones,Cane Toads and Prickly Pear but NOT and I repeat, CANNOT comprehend the complexities of the DREADED Day Light Savings regime which would mean that Home and Away wouldnt be on as the Sunsets and that is just 'Not Natural'.

    as a new Qlder
    I think daylight savings is good as it is
    Sun comes up at 5 ish anyhow and the extra choices in time shifting TV is excellent.
    If they showed more AFL at civilised hours on TV it would be perfect

    Let's hope we see SCTV use 7TWO North to their advantage and show live AFL on it, since the government is allowing it this year for the first time.

    There is a bouquet selection option on the box which only has one option available. Is this a box problem or a VAST thing. I note on the travellers application form there is a box to select the Primary Area of Travel ie which state you want. This probably means they don't want Qlders seeing what those southerners are up to.

    The talk is live Friday AFL on 7-2 and BH&G on Regular7
    (SCTV had AFL live this week and BH&G on Sat Afternoon)
    I imagine the same with NRL on 9 in the South
