Looks like they are a bit ahead of themselves there, already seeing FOUR and C4 on DVB-T here.

Yeah, I would have expected that the channels would have updated at 6pm with the rebranding launch happening then, not sometime thismorning.

REALLY? I had no idea of that whatsoever...

/sarcasm

Oh, and they have managed to reproduce the ugly blue very well in the logo used in the MHEG guide too.

They've changed the layout in The Herald's Timeout TV guide. The new layout isn't very good and they've removed Triangle, National Geographic and C4. They've added a partial listing for Stratos but that it doesn't have the same schedule as Triangle.

Is it stratos we will get on freeview soon or triangle? Im hoping the former since triangle seem to show a hell of a lot of old black and white crap movies instead of news that stratos has.

I guess that the changes to the encoders would be too risky to do at 6pm... way safer to make major epg and channel name changes overnight. My Zinwell changed the names by itself, but my Sony didn't change till I did a channel rescan. WTF??

don't mess with me.... i'm the hd insider....

Well we are at # 5 of the top 100 music videos ever, so I guess they must have a few really long ones between now and 6pm - the c4tv site is dead now too, redirecting to four.co.nz so no chance of a listing of the top 100 either. Guess there will be a few really long ones in the last 4 tho. Metellica - one been yet?

Mine's a cheap little 32" KDL 32V5500. What model Sony do you have Behodar? Just talked to a friend with a Panasonic PVR and a Panasonic TV - both still say C4 and C42. No update there either...
