Doesnt look like it mate. Unfortuantely for us Canberrans!!!!!
Southern Cross is a two-bit operation and a disgrace.
**** FREEVIEW!
I get Southern Cross in country SA and apparently the OneHD is only for metro Adelaide. Not happy

Shock of shocks, Canberra may actually be getting it from day one! I know it's hard to believe, but read on...
http://www.mediaspy.info/report/2009/01/southern-cross-ten-to-carry-one-hd/
Now Media Spy is relatively reliable for such info, although there hasn't been any formal announcement. We can only cross our fingers I suppose...
(and of course we lose SC10HD, but that's delivered absolutely nothing lately!)

(and of course we lose SC10HD, but that's delivered absolutely nothing lately!)would it be the same for southern cross everywhere?

I know a guy that rang up TEN about their false advertising of the footy being on HD. Long story short, the lady said that we will be getting the HD channel around June IIRC, as opposed to metropolitan areas who get it in April.
But i sure hope Mr Eagle's article is correct!

I'll believe it when I see it. I was told by SC Ten here in Canberra that we would be getting the full HD channel with HD-only programmin as of the middle of last year.
Even now, all we get is the occasional simulcast, and none of TenHD's HD-only stuff. That's 18 months of almost pure promo loop.

Comments in this TV Tonight thread (http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2009/03/your-guide-to-one.html) suggest that our dreams may be about to shatter :(

No surprise. SC10 have had more than long enough, and in good economic circumstance, to get things together. There is nothing in their history to suggest they will do anything ever.
Even on that timeframe its going to be more than 12 months after promised. On SC10's record, this is not going to happen any time this year - or probably next.
No Tassie date launch at all?
You ****ing **** scumbags. :mad:
Phew. The quote has been clarrified. :thumbsu:
I'm happy IF it is mid-year but I wont hold my breath.
UPDATED 16 March: Greg Dodgson has qualified statements made in relation to SC10 owned markets (Aggregate Markets A, B, C, D) over markets that are shared with other companies (including Tasmania and Darwin). Contrary to earlier information there is a requirement to broadcast HD into Tasmania and Darwin, however they are not fully owned SC10 stations. This means Tasmanian and Darwin viewers WILL get ONE in HD on SC10 at the same time as other markets.
“I’m confident they’ll get them in the middle of the year like other viewers but we don’t fully own that signal,” said Dodgson.
SC10 also has no plans for its secondary digital channel.
“When we broadcast ONE HD in the middle of the year it will come out as HD. But we don’t have any plans yet with our SD2 channel.”
TV Tonight apologises for any confusion (particularly for Tassie & Darwin viewers!) in the ever-changing landscape that is digital television! Please note in order to avoid further confusion, previous comments relating to these markets will be deleted.

So they could actually mean 18 months seeing as they are talking months, and they are coming. Maybe 24 months. SC are shizenhousen...

LOL yeah!
Anyone got a date yet on the new channel for southern cross ten or any other information?
Do anyone know when the official coming soon date is?
Southern Cross OneHD is sponsored by the Carlton Football Club -
Where Coming.
But alot like Carlton, not for a while
I am betting after the end of the financial year.
BILC- Its pain in the bum. I split my time between Melbourne and Country Vic. OneHD is fantastic, and its not good enough country Victoria misses out. How hard can it be to turn the button on? Even tonight, the 1st qtr replay of Tiges and the Bummers in on… Lucky im in Melb:thumbsu:
Update
Southern Cross adds One HD from July 2 (http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2009/06/southern-cross-adds-one-hd-from-july-2.html)
Darwin, Central Australia and regional South Australia, which are digital areas, will still miss out on receiving ONE HD.
Great. :thumbsd:
And June 1st is the digital radio launch:thumbsu:

Don’t get to excited, apart from the footy which we all get anyway on free to air, there is only One Week At a Time and Classic Boxing, the rest is shit. Poker is on now…. that’s crap. It isn’t a sport so WTF is it doing on

Yes. You will see the same channel just not in HD quality.
So this is including Mildura/Sunraysia right?
Yes. You will see the same channel just not in HD quality.

The Footy is always shown first or at the same time as your primary channel i.e. Southern Cross so you won't miss anything.

According to tvtonight, no, Southern Cross will not be simulcasting One on an SD channel.
Whether that applies to TDT in Tassie is unclear, but they will also start on 2 July.

Possibly not... TV Tonight has the coverage maps linked in this article (http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2009/06/southern-cross-adds-one-hd-from-july-2.html).
I have done some research this morning and it seems Ten in Mildura is run by WIN so we probably won't be getting it until about August as per earlier reports.
Pretty simple to find out if you will have it on July 2 just go to Ten HD and if the banner on the bottom says it will commence on 7pm July 2nd You will get it at 7 PM July 2nd!
