Starts tomorrow night and I still don't know if I can get it. I have a digital desktop box for digital channels but no HDTV. Can I watch?

Yep, you'll have SD so you can tune into channel 12 for the SD version. It has a countdown clock now with dramatic music.

**** me, i just got excited about live/delayed footy in Sydney.

But not to be, we get swimming skins, what a ****ing thrill

When will ONE launch?

ONE will launch at 7.30pm on Thursday 26 March. The first program will be a 30-minute "Welcome to ONE" special. Viewers in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth will then head to the MCG for the AFL Round 1 blockbuster between Carlton and Richmond. Viewers in Brisbane and Sydney will head to the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre for a special Swimming Australia SKINS event.

The SKINS will immediately follow the AFL in Melbourne Adelaide and Perth and vice-versa in Sydney and Brisbane.

I'll be flicking, is this the last race?, is this the last race?, is this the last race?

****ers

Just be thankful you dont live in Canberra, where we get NOTHING!
 
What is the latest on when Southern Cross (for country Victoria) is going to get OneHD? It is very difficult to get any current information about it.

Pretty ordinary seeing it is only one day away from starting (for the capital cities that is...).
 
it'll be interesting to see how it goes. it will go alright for a while. No doubt.

The thing counting against it is that they don't have the sports that Australians love to look at that they can't see on FTA: English Premier League and overseas Aussie cricket tours (not including Ashes obviously).

Are there any other sports that we love to see but can't on FTA? Because sadly at the moment, that is One's problem. But they will go well for a while at least. I'm pretty excited about it all.
 
Will be a giant flop. What are the going to put on there during the week: Basketball, footy replays, motorsport? Seriously Foxsports shits all over this even with the cost factor added in.

It won't work as well because they dont have the ability of the red button (yet) and they will show adverts throughout games (like Seven did with the Soccer during the Olympics) and that will ruin the spectacle.

7pm start now in Melbourne. Footy live from 7:30pm
 
Some pretty negative responses to One in this thread. I think it is a fantastic initiative, as it gives us looks at sports and action I would never normally watch. Obviously great having a competitor to Foxtel as well, bidding wise for big events and sports. I can only think of positives when looking at this channel.

Easy to be positive when you can see it.

"Middle of the year", same as northern and southern NSW.

Just as TenHD's HD only programming was coming in April last year accordiing to Southern Cross Ten and never arrived.
Southern Cross Ten won't deliver unless there is a legislative deadline they can't get moved.

Even then TDT in Tassie and DDT in Darwin won't deliver, because its not in the interest of the other two broadcasters (WIN and Southern Cross acting as a 7/10 affiliate - now with almost straight 7 programming except for 10's AFL - rather than a straight 10 affiliate) to have an extra channel and dilute their own viewership. The third licence should naver have been allowed to go to the existing broadcasters in those markets.

OK, just imagine for a minute that this channel that you think will be really great wont be shown in your area for another few months at the earliest. Would you still be as enthusiastic about it?

Why not? It's not like you have it now so you're not losing anything.

Until it comes in, nothing changes. What's the problem?

It's not like it's impacting you until it comes in.

That's being kind to them. They've been promising to deliver the AFL in HD since the start of the 2007 season.
 
Does anyone know if you'll be able to watch it at all with Foxtel Digital (the "default" Foxtel, i.e. not HD) and with no set top box? Sigh.
 
At the moment they are showing a continuous countdown.........if you were a Richmond/Carlton supporter, it would get really annoying watching it countdown to your game!

It's ridiculous that people who live an hour away from me will have access to this from tonight but I will not. Southern Cross are just treating their viewers with contempt.

The problem is SC should have One starting from tonight as opposed to some vague reference to the 'middle of the year'.
