Indeed!  One of my favourite shows recorded without fail every week -- until now maybe???

If these go for good there's honestly not that much more to be had locally via the standard SKY sized dish pointed at D1. And also no benefit from a dvb-s2 receiver anymore either. Would be sad to see these channels go.

And it had REALLY better be up again before the next episode of Shameless.
I say the government should just close down TVNZ and donate all the funding to SBS on the basis that they continue to use the NANZ beam.

I've a bad feeling about this. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I was immediately concerned when a prominent Auckland online retailer posted a newsletter devoted to the virtues of the channels. You never know where this stuff goes. I just hope it's atmospheric.

I just tried doing an Automatic Scan of D1 and the only working V-pol signal I can find is the Test channel on 12637.

Has anyone tried doing a Blind Scan?

I'm picking that it is temporary.
A quick search hasn't revealed any instructions for "bona fide" recipients in Tasmania to retune or repoint, and I don't think there can be a change of beam without a change of transponder.

Anybody have a cobber in Tassie with DVB-S?

Yeah - I've got EPG, but it could be buffered by my receiver.
Still down at 21:08.

Yeah, I've got EPG as well, but Coast has just started, and still no signal...

Just as well my internet connection has recently been upgraded and is now fast enough to stream this episode.  Cheers Vodafone!

Just checked on a recording from 21:35 (SBS 2) and it looks like it failed.
