Thanks Peter, at least I know now that it isnt a set up problem or something simple I'm missing. I'm in Sydney by the way. Given I havent seen any listings for either channel for a couple of months now it would make sense if they were both are simulcasting from SD.

Out of interest, is the decision not to list the data for these channels a technical one, or because of the additional effort involved maybe? I only ask to get an appreciation of what would be involved.

I'm curious about situations where people have a HD STB hooked through oztivo to a HD TV. I suppose the first question to ask is whether the tivo unit is actually passing the HD signal through to the TV. I assume not because the interface is standard RCA rather than component video or HDMI or some such other?

I can think of 2 reasons that people might prefer to watch the HD channels:

1. the picture is better - this is probably moot given that the RCA interface effectively downgrades the signal to SD anyway

2. HD has different content - probably moot again given both channels are simulcasting from SD.

I found it irritating for a while though, that when partial listings were there showing as Upcoming you cant change to the channel from the guide without tivo thinking that you want to record the upcoming show. A minor irritation I admit, you can use channel up or down as a workaround and I suppose if you know that there isnt anything else different from SD then it really doesnt matter.
