View Full Version : TV Hello Channel Eleven

Hello, I saw an ad for Channel He11o on the weekend. Looks like targeting Channel 10's usual demographic, but with shows that they normally wouldn't air consistently on their SD channel.
i.e. Dexter.
Anyone know when it starts?
Howard Littlejohn

Channel 11 starts on 11/1/11 in the five major metropolitans.
And on Southern Cross Ten, TDT and DDT some time between then and 2016.

It's actually called Eleven; "He11o" is the slogan
The logo looks exactly the same as something you would find in the 80's

I think the schedule changes when the holidays end, because Neighbours isn't there either
Getting Ferguson is a win.
Tuesday evenings look promising, other than that whatever. They'd be better off airing movies from midday.

Old shows that are cheap to buy and give you a free channel... if you don't like it, don't watch.
What are people really expecting from these channels? Yes, it's a lot of crap that Foxtel show, but you have to pay for Foxtel to get the crap. This is free. FREE.
Gives me something to channel surf through and if I don't like it, I use the amazing powers of stored media to watch something I do like. Magic isn't it?
What a day and age we live in. A far cry from even just a decade or so ago when we had bugger all stations to choose from. Even a lot of regional areas still get bugger all.
Old shows that I haven't seen in years that aren't overly great but not really great enough to warrant paying for? Love it. :thumbsu:

What about Letterman? Will he still be on Channel 10 or removed completely?
Plus there's still Dexter and Supernatural to be added so it could be promising. Can't be worse than GEM now can it :o?
Austar should get it straight away. I don't know about Foxtel.
yet you can see all those TV shows (or most of them anyway) already on pay TV

The news content doesn't start until the end of January so maybe once Negus takes over at 6pm then The Simpsons might go to 6pm on Eleven.

Will still be on Ten.

I have just spent Christmas in regional WA and the choices were: ABC1, WIN, GWN, SBS...all in fuzzy analogue. (Although I do enjoy regional advertising!:D)
Sure most of the stuff on the new channels is crap, but most of the time there is a good show on one of the channels at any one time.
How long til One on 531 on Foxtel goes back to normal?

Why are Australian networks even bothering?
All these channels are doing is spreading their few decent shows a little bit and padding out the rest of the schedule with garbage. I mean, do we really need a channel in HD that incessantly airs movies from the 1940's?
It would be cool if these channels were airing shows that were new from the US or even if they were repeats of decent shows. However, it seems they establish these new channels then throw garbage on them for the majority of the programming block.

There's an embargo on new players for a few years after switchover. Introducing them now allows them to build a bit of an audience beforehand, and restrict new players from finding niches in the market.

I like it how GEM airs movies from the 40s-60s, although the file size really sucks so I can't keep them on my PVR for long. I wish they were on Go!

Agreed on the last para, but it is pretty evident that there will always be a market for 'live' TV, whether it be via free or paid means.
The FTA networks can make money out of these things, perhaps by throwing garbage on them for minimal cost. But having just dumped Foxtel from our household (you should see the offers they throw at you when you cancel!), the garbage isn't much different to the Fox garbage.
So if you have a PVR and can sort the wheat from the chaff (via something like IceTV or Tivo's EPG), then you can series link some half decent stuff when you want, and plus you've got the ability to network movies via the PVR / HTPC or via some other means like Apple TV style devices.
Plus, you can directly source some overseas content via the internet, such as NBA League Pass and watch the game you want when you want.
In addition, whist Fox has improved slightly in getting the best TV shows across from the US, it is still almost over and on DVD by the time it gets on air here. If some fat idiot with a laptop can get the show on line the next day (I'm looking in my own direction), then why can't a TV station do it (especially for something like Mad Men where it is already assumed it'll attract interest)?
The interest of the FTA networks in Foxtel has varied over time, but isn't all that much anymore relatively speaking. Them trying to kill Foxtel off isn't that surprising. They've been helped by ABC's 24 hours news channel basically acting like anyone of the 10 news channels on Fox.
In effect, the expansion of the FTA networks coupled with technology has made the decision for us to kick the expense of Fox to the kerb. A few extra footy games per year just doesn't make up for the expense. The likes of the "garbage channels" (which they arguably all are to some degree) can still filter through a few gems. And I think this Foxtel killing behaviour is very much the MO (the "siphoning" of sports is one area that they were worried about their domination, but the government has helped them out).
We'll still watch 'live' TV. They are just want to make sure there are ads in them!

Their SD secondary channel is going to be Eleven. Their HD channel is ONE HD.
No news channel, but they are doing news from 5pm for two hours (7pm Project is not News IMO).

Yeah the 2 / 2 & 1/2 hour news block is something like:
5:00-5:30 Ten News (National Focus)
5:30-6:00 Sports Tonight
6:00-6:30 6PM with George Negus (Current Affairs show)
6:30-7:00 Ten News (State Focused)
7:00-7:30 7PM Project (Comedic News Panel Show)
The News Channel Idea was from Packer buying into Ten, hating both One HD and ABC News 24 as they both cut into his Sky News / Fox Sport businesses and his plans to kill One HD and replace it with Sky News (because Free to Air really needs two 24hr News Channels)

Apart from sport Foxtel is basically a waste of money. From when I've watched its all been repeats of Law and Order, Friends and what ever else and now with these free channels you basically don't need it. If FTA stations start using their multi channels to broadcast sport properly I can see Foxtel getting a bit antsy about it. Its such a ripoff.

Yeah, Foxtel is a huge rip off and I only keep it because of the sport.
It's not so much the FTA channels that are drawing me away from it, more so the fact that I'm now downloading most TV shows off the net as soon as they are aired in the US and have the freedom of watching them when I want.
However, it does seem like the Pay TV channels take an extremely long time to get new series. In a lot of cases, they taken longer than FTA networks to start airing a new series and will often repeat episodes multiple times before going onto the next season. I would love to know why this is.

Honestly, what I think happens is that the FTA networks buy the content from overseas and just sit on it, knowing full well they aren't going to show it. This stops Foxtel from being able to show it until the FTA rights expire.
will you be able to get it through foxtel or go through all the other ones like gem and mate

there are now ony 2 reasons for me keeping foxtel
1. sports
2. the food channel.
Its a wonder crtics in th greenguide or other places have not canned foxtel more often for the amount of repeats. eg TV1 has shown NCIS season three 6-10 times and the same four episodes god knows how many times.
It looks like noone is complaining! I did complain once and their excuse was people were watching it. how can you watch the same episode 6-10 times?

I'm surprised they're starting it at the first season though. Especially since it looks like they are just showing it once a week. There's 259 episodes. Even if they somehow managed to miraculously show it once a week non-stop (although let's be honest, I expect it to be gone with two months), it'd take 5 years to get through it all.
Everyone should watch it though. Criminally underrated show.

Yes, to show 4:3 shows in widescreen format without stretching, Eleven are zooming and cutting the picture. The top and bottom of the original shots are therefore missing and the quality is grainy.
And, why are they showing that 4 minute (or however long) promo for that dance show rubbish in things like Futurama? There is zero crossover in audience between the two shows. All it does is force people to go channel surfing.
Honestly, its worse than an AAMI ad - and as an aside can I congratulate AAMI for their ability to get worse with each new ad they do.

Lot of people whinging about the crap, but there's plenty of stuff on here that I'll watch if it happens to be on when I feel in the mood to sit down and veg out. Not amazing viewing, but it's free - I'll take reruns of Cheers and MacGuyver if I don't have to pay for it.
Hopefully this sort of trend will force Foxtel to smarten up their act a bit... if all these syndicated shows are being shown on FTA they might have to stop charging people a fortune for them, and actually show some good stuff rather than relying completely on Fox Sports to sell their basic package for them.
Sons of Anarchy will be on it.

Turned it on the other night to see Leyland Brother's World followed by an early (pre-Pamela Anderson) episode of Baywatch. Fair enough, this was around 4:30am on a weeknight, but what's the point of filling these channels with re-runs of crap/old shows that everyone's seen a million times?
For all the hype about these new FTA digital channels, OneHD is the only one that has given anything of value IMO, and even that has its fair share of garbage (eg. bull riding in prime time). ABC2 has some decent stuff from time to time as well, but it's nothing to write home about.

The zoom and crop job they are doing on these olds shows so they're widescreen is just atrocious.
It works for something like Seinfeld because it was filmed in a way that was somewhat 16x9 safe. And they're not zooming, so it doesn't make it grainy. But Family Ties just looked so bad. I couldn't watch it.

I thought that was Foxtel's job. At least we don't have to pay to watch these re-runs.
