ONE SD is no longer broadcasting, now replaced with around-the-clock-promotion for ELEVEN.

ONE SD is no longer broadcasting, now replaced with around-the-clock-promotion for ELEVEN.

The channel had been a standard-definition broadcast of the high-definition broadcast of the 24 hour sports channel since March 2009.

Now ONE can only be seen on digital channels 1 and 12.

Channel 11 carries promotions for new shows Dexter, Supernatural, The Office, Smallville, Nurse Jackie, 90210, Neighbours, Californication and more, with several using a slew of OMG and phone text-style promos.

    I’m not a technical person but our HD set-top-box had the promos on Ch 12 plus the visual promos on Ch 1 & 11 with audio of Ch 1. The HD TV had the promos on Ch 12 but was otherwise normal. I rescanned both of them and they switched the promos to Ch 11. Also Ch 1 & 12 showed One HD (visuals and audio).

    I think it was because they switched Ch 11 & 12 around. So 11 went from HD to SD and vice versa for 12 (i.e. SD to HD ). Something to do with switching the data around and pointing the LCNs differently. As I said I’m not technical. If something goes wrong I try different things to fix it. The promo said to rescan it and it worked.

    I don’t know how your TV or set-top-box fixed it maybe it somehow updated. Sometimes my old set-top-box would do that because that’s how I found out about GO! as one week it was Nine Guide and the next it was GO! ; that’s why I missed the first week of GO! But at least it was only a week.

  2. Craig, the closest you’ll get are main channel simulcasts of the AFL, Ironman, etc as well as the occasional weekend afternoon showing of motorsport such as ARC. But either than that, you’ll have to go get yourself a HD set-top-box (you can buy one for as little as $60) to gain full access to ONE HD.

  3. Moe, what David said is correct, in that he is talking about ch. 11 specifically. I looked just the other day (to check out the promo’s for 11), and One SD was still on 11, whereas the promo’s for 11 were actually running on ch 12. What David is saying in the article is these are now on ch 11, and One SD is gone altogether, and that has only just happened (sometime since I last looked earlier this week).

  4. This happened on the 15th.

    >FYI – Ch1 is used for ONE in the cities. Ch12 is used for ONE in the areas covered by SC TEN.

    No. One is on Channel 50 in SC Ten areas, both 1 and 12 are from Ten in the capital cities and both point to the same HD stream.

  5. I don’t/didn’t record much on ONE but it would be nice if they replayed key sports (later) on TEN, I’m mainly thinking the WRC but I’m sure there are others with SD PVRs and TV who will now be cut off from recording their programs or even watching them. Guess that’s why ONE launched their new online content.

    Yes I’m grateful ELEVEN will be SD to catch show, unlike 7MATE and GEM, either way I guess it’s time to at least get a cheap STB and hook it up via the RCA connections so I can then record all the HD channels.

    FYI – Ch1 is used for ONE in the cities. Ch12 is used for ONE in the areas covered by SC TEN.

  6. @Ashley Beer It is a single programme stream with different Logical Channel Numbers (1 and 12) pointing at it. If they wanted they could have OneHD on 1,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18 and19 and it wouldn’t make any difference as there is still only one actual stream. The LCNs just point to that stream.

  7. @ Matt – As far as I know, you don’t need to have paid for the Foxtel HD channels to get ONE, 7mate, GEM etc., just have a built-in HD tuner, and they should be unlocked.

  8. I like ELEVEN launching all these promos on a loop on the channel. I think a lot of people would actually sit there and watch the entire loop before switching to another channel.

  9. What’s the point of having a simulcast on 12? It’s the same broadcast, so it wouldn’t fix reception problems. Is it so that when flicking through channels, the viewer can see Ten, 11 and One all together in succession? Although I don’t understand the point of that either…
