Free*EPG: ABC Channel Rebranding - Does it affect us?

[jaredmorgs]

Hello there. Just got email from Ice today regarding the new changes to ABC channel renaming (and channel renumbering).

http://www.abc.net.au/tv/newtv/on_your_tv.htm

From the ABC website:

ABC1 is now broadcast on Channel 2 and Channel 21 in standard definition and on Channel 20 in high definition. ABC2 is now available on Channel 22, and is broadcast in standard definition.

On February 11, ABC TV reset the numbering for our channels on the digital spectrum, so as to make them more logical for viewers. If you already have digital tv, you may need to retune your set top box to access your ABC channels.

* - * - * - * - * - *

So does this affect Free*EPG channel mapping? Do we need to do a channel remap just yet or wait until the new mappings are implemented?

Cheers

Jared

urrghh.. for me, it seems that I've lost ABC2, and now I've got some channels listed but with no channel number next to them, and I can't even enable and disable them! Might be because I have 4 tuners.... but I HATE having to do the rescan dance after using Media Center Reset tool! Here we go again.....

Hi,

We'll be updating the channel ID's and names after midnight tonight. Hopefully you won't have to re-scan, just re-map you channels in the morning, but we'll keep you posted.


Thanks,
