seemoe Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 I saw an ad on TV about 9 perth upgrading their digital transmitter and that after a certain date, cant remember when, you will need to rescan the channels anyone have any more info on what this is about?
minchjp Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) If you saw the message, then you don't need to do a re-scan. The upgrades were yesterday. Does anyone know what they did? Edited June 27, 2008 by minchjp
Sgt Bargearse Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 They've moved playout to Wollongong. There was a TV Tonight article about it a while back. And they've screwed it up. 90 is just an upconvert of 9, no native HD during CSI.
ADstv Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) STW is looking a bit different now! Maybe noticed new coverups lately from what was regarded as the cleanest nine station in Australia (Refusal of Watermarks and advertising during programs) are long gone. What happened is WIN has decided to relocate most operations to WIN Headquarters in Wollongong, in order for this to happen changes would have to be made to the signal. As for the ad, if you can see 9 or 9HD now, you should be fine! It happened between 5:30am and 9:30am friday (27/6) morning. As for HD they had problems with the signal today, so HD may take a couple days to sort out, so this should only be a short term problem. Edited June 27, 2008 by ADstv
alanh Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Minichip, Are WIN taking the HD encoder and the HD playback equipment back to Wollongong to increase the amount of native HD programming required. After all they must transmit 1040 hours/year of native HD programming as required by their licence. AlanH
thudabot Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Is this the reason 9HD looks like SD? The Today show in the mornings is usually crystal clear, but i have noticed this week it's been crap quality.

Stuff it back to BT Edited July 5, 2008 by Damon

Stuff it back to BT HD Resolution also down from 1920x1080i to 1440x1080i and DD 2.0 removed from SD channel. From the best DTV in Australia to the worst. rgds Damon

ols Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Double post Must be contagious This morning on the Sunday show on Nine Perth they had a WIN "9" watermark transposed on top of the "9 HD" one Let's hope they weren't breeding
vinny06 Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 No matter how many rescans... can not pick up channel nine on my std def set top box weird....!
wheelz Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 My 9HD has been out of sync all day whether using a stb or the built in tuner,anyone else having the same problem?
thudabot Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 yeah same here. wot rubbish, aren't they supposed to encourage everyone to get into digital TV?
Topdog Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Yep, had the sync problem yesterday morning but seemed to be OK in the afternoon...
Elphinkiller Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 There was a sync problem last night as well when I sat down to watch Footy Classified, it wasn't there at the end of the Gordan Ramsay show but as soon as FC started it was there.
goosagichy2135 Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I wonder when they plan to go to full 1920x1080 and have decent sound.
Laura_e Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I have noticed that on both our tv's the sound is out of sync on channel 9hd. I starting noticing on the programs I had recorded last Friday. Tonight I gave up watching 9hd and went with 9 sd....at least the sound is in sync. I keep thinking it will right itself eventually.
thudabot Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 doesn't look like anyone at 9 is doing anything about it

Thanks for confirming the sync problem, everytime I mention this here some brightspark chips in that they don't have a problem. I have several different HD boxes and all suffer from the sync problem. On my Ch 9 HD PC recordings the only way to fix the sync is to add 250ms delay to the sound using VideoRedo. So while I do that the adverts get chopped. So thanks C9 (WIN) no more watching live. What a bunch of morons? rgds Damon
MN-Robert Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Hi, Channel 9 is out of sync and the footy show looks **** tonight
