There should be no reason Southern Cross can't simulcast the GF on 7mate Central, but then again they alter the footy schedule so much I wouldn't put it past them. Games that are usually 7mate exclusive end up on SCTV quite often, so who knows?
Does anybody know whether this year's AFL grand final will be shown on 7 Mate VAST in HD following an announcement that the game will be simulcast on 7 and 7Mate terrestrial.

Yep that's my concern. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Looks like it will be in HD, mate. Except the post-game coverage moves to 7TWO Central at 6pm.

Southern Cross was the license holder for broadcast of the Seven network on Aurora years ago and it seems they also hold licenses to many translators in regional areas, I am sure I read they held either 2 or all three of the 'Commercial' licenses on some fairly out of the way translators in South Australia due to no one else wanting them.
Terrestrially Southern Cross holds the license to broadcast the TEN network programs here.
I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!
I have not had VAST that long - was the AFL GF shown in HD on 7Mate last year? It would give me some hope that it will be this year
The AFL Grand Final won't be in HD on the VAST satellite Central Footprint for remote viewers as according to the guides, it is to be shown on 7SD and not simulcast on Mate.
This is not all that surprising given that the broadcasters in the Central VAST footprint have not upgraded to the new HD main channels and to the best of my knowledge, 7Mate has never show any AFL games in native HD (or certainly not in the last couple of years).
I think VAST should be renamed Aurora.
Only way to watch the GF in HD is to try and quickly switch to WA their games are on 7mate
