I belive the service or frequency of STRATOS is now offline, It will be a while till a new channel will load up a test signal. anyone else now have Stratos on the Freeview EPG? I have a non-approved scanner.

STRATOS ceased broadcasting late last year. If you liked the channel and want to see it back, go and sign their online petition: http://www.stratostv.co.nz/

Why does everyone think that there is another channel waiting to start up on Stratos' frequency? What if there isn't? I know that tv9 is starting up on FreeviewHD.

sad news for those of us in the new HD areas, wrote tv9.  really suxs to be in the new HD area's.

Hi there,

Thanks for your email.

Sorry, due to a couple of different reasons & difficulties, it seems like we don’t have any plan in the near future to extend the coverage of TV9.
