I hope the current picture quality is not how bad it is going to be when it launches... cause right now it looks about as good as a low bit rate shopping in Aussie.

Going to really stretch the capacity on that multiplex. Means we've got 3 HD and 3 SD channels sharing that capacity.

Generally known online as OpenMedia, now working for Red Hat APAC as a Technology Evangelist and Portfolio Architect. Still playing with MythTV and digital media on the side.

Duke is the only free to air channel I really bother with, so this is a nice, free addition :-)

Someone should tell Mediaworks they're still broadcasting Freeview channel 11 in HD. HD audio on a music channel is good but do they really need to be wasting all that video bandwidth on there when they could be broadcasting 3+1 in HD.

If they would stop sending AC3 5.1 and only using the FL/FR channels, it would be even better.
