It used to be so easy.
BBC 1 – on channel 1
BBC 2 – on channel 2
ITV – on channel 3
Channel 4 – on channel 4
Channel 5 – on channel 5
A few digital channels came on the scene in the UK, but is all seemed straight forward.
Then I moved to Australia.
ABC is channel 2
SBS is channel 3
Channel Seven
Channel Nine
Channel Ten
Which works fine in the metropolitan cities, where the stations are owned and operated by the channels.
But out in the regions – ie Tasmania – the commercial stations are broadcast through affiliates.
So ….
TDT – on channel 5 – broadcasts “Channel Ten”
Southern Cross – on channel 6 – broadcasts “Channel Seven”
WIN – on channel 8 – broadcasts “Channel Nine”
As from today, TDT and WIN have changed alliances. So Ten will now be on 8 and Nine will be on 5. We have retuned our TV and have lost Seven on 6.
Aaaggghh my brain is having a melt down.
What are my remotes doing in your house? 🙂

Ha ha. Sometimes I miss the old days when we had to get up out of our chair to change the channel or volume. And the little white dot when we turned off the tv.

Lily was just squawking over the same thing – guess this is where it pays off for me not watching tv 🙂

Yes! and as well as channels, I can’t understand why, in this age of high tech we all still have three or more huge remotes! I would love something simple.
