7 Central TV guide and broadcasts to NZ

**rawill** · 07-07-13, 03:07 PM

We can get 7 Central, I like to watch the V8s.
Sometimes I get 7two, on the screen

Today it says the V8s are on in the web guide, however here I am getting football.
I would like to get 7 mate and 7, as well as 7-2 which sometimes comes on the screen.

We can only get 7 Central and 3 SBS channels.

There is also a mismatch between what is avertised as being on SBS One and what we get here.
I can see the "Tour of France" advertised but we do not see it here. We have other programmes.
We have SBS WA, SBS SE, SBS QLD

Hey rawill, is that via the soon to be closed Optus Aurora Package (DVB-S)

Not DVB-S2 or and HD

Are you taking into account timezone differences? The guide is possibly going by your local time and not AU eastern/central time.

G'Day rawill.
Methinks you only have 12407 V tuned in for those channels.
SBS SA is on 12527 V

The other Auroras are split between 12527 V, 12728 V with AlJazeera on 12136 V (D3).

It appears to me that either all TPs are not scanned or confusion with LNB LO, 11300, 10700, 10750 or Universal (09750 / 10600 /11700).
You MUST use what is written on the LNB, preferably a 10700 twin / dual out LNB.

Let me know if that solves your problem.

What web guide are you using?

Rawill
12407 is the only Auora tp avail to view in NZ. 7 Central doesn't run the same progs as Metro CH7 especially during Footbol season. E.G. on Friday nights Ch7 Metro runs 'Better Homes and Gardens' whilst 7 Central runs AFL Footbol. Think yourself lucky for what you are getting because by end of this year Aurora will be switched off permanently. You say you get 7Two on the screen. What tp are you getting this off of - a VAST tp ??

7 Central is being switched off at the end of this month as far as I can tell.

**rawill** · 12-07-13, 04:40 PM

Thank you for the replies.

I will check the other frequencies, but as said above I thinl only 12407 is available here.

So when it is shut off do we have any options here.

I go to: TV Guide Yahoo!7

7two is on the screen sometimes, 12407

I suspect you only get Aurora 7 Central & it sometimes shows station Promotions adverts for channel 7two & 7mate (but they are only available on Vast)

I have heard Aurora 7 Central & Imparja could be switching off as early as the end of this month (July)

Once upon a time Smacca use to have a tv guide for Aurora for NZ users.

**Smacca** · 13-07-13, 12:34 AM

I still do if you have an XMLTV capable box and use the section to get data (which most NZ'ers do). But I have removed them from the main website guide because in about 17 days they'll be almost all gone.

If you really want to still use Sat TV Guide for 12407V channels, bookmark these links. Just ignore all the channels listed on the site and stick to the bookmarks and the times should be correct for you.

In the addresses above, you can see &timezoneset=NZST. If you make sure that's always in the address, you can browse any channel in NZ's timezone.
