  1. Showtime Comedy HD and Showtime Drama HD can fill in the channel slots of 222 and 223, while Showtime Horror can fill in 405 and Movies 24 can fill in 424. Showtime Comedy HD – D222, Showtime Drama HD – D223, Showtime Horror – D405 and Movies 24 – D424

  2. Movies 24 will hopefully be the Hallmark Channel’s sister channel and the only channel of its kind in Australia dedicated to bringing you made-for-TV movies 24-7 and commercial free as well as the only channel where you will find an erotica movie screening weeknights at 10:15. If you like made-for-TV movies ad free then Movies 24 is the channel for you! While Movies 24 will air commercial free tv movies 24-7, Hallmark should air Packed to the Rafters and All Saints from 8:30 weeknights as well as introduce shows such as: Neighbours, Home & Away, Prisoner, The Young Doctors, G.P. and Sons and Daughters as they already have great shows such as: All Saints, A Country Practice, McLeod’s Daughters, Sea Patrol, City Homicide and Packed to the Rafters just to name a few. That way the channel guide would go like this: 13TH STREET – D113 HALLMARK – D116 MOVIES 24 – D424

  3. Don’t understand why MTV has moved to the 100 series channels. Does this mean its now included in the standard package? if so, that really waters down an already weak music package.

    Also, can someone please confirm if the digital free to air channels will be launching nationwide, or fta definition of nationwide which is Sydney Melbourne and Brisbane. Canberra has to deal with bozo’s* like southern cross ten for example as a regional broadcaster, and they all refuse to rebroadcast on foxtel for some reason.

    * They are bozo’s cause i have been contacting them constantly over the past 3 years or so, and everytime they have lied and said that they would be rebroadcasting their channels onto foxtel with the next 90 days… still nothing

  4. knowfirst – thanks for the clarification

    will SBStwo and abc 2 (and 3) be live EST feeds into WA like they are now via satelite?
    abc1 and sbs1 seem to be local feeds, but not these multichannels.

    its great being able to watch the late night sbstwo movies at 6pm WST.

  5. I’m sure Hallmark will be glad to air Classic Aussie shows like: Prisoner, Number 96, Neighbours, Home & Away, The Young Doctors and Sons and Daughters as they already have great shows such as: All Saints, A Country Practice, McLeod’s Daughters, Sea Patrol, City Homicide and Packed to the Rafters just to name a few.

    Also lets just hope Hallmark moves all of its made-for-TV movies to Movies 24 to ensure that they get the commercial free treatment 24 hours a day 7 days a week. That way the channel guide would go like this: 13TH STREET – D113 HALLMARK – D116 MOVIES 24 – D424

  6. I’m sure Hallmark will be glad to air Classic Aussie shows like: Prisoner, Number 96, Neighbours, Home & Away, The Young Doctors and Sons and Sons and Daughters as they already have great shows such as: All Saints, A Country Practice, McLeod’s Daughters, Sea Patrol, City Homicide and Packed to the Rafters just to name a few.

  7. Glad you asked Jason MTV Hits and TMF are both music channels. Only changes I would make to the new guide would be Ovation – D125 and Sci Fi – D132. Meanwhile Movies 24 is a 24 hour movie channel dedicated to made-for-TV movies.

  8. The movie channels from November 15 need added Movies 24 and the music channels need added MTV Hits and TMF from November 15. Here’s how the channels should be: BOX OFFICE PREVIEW 2 – D400
    SHOWTIME – D401 SHOWTIME 2 – D402SHOWCASE – D403 SHOWCASE 2 – D404 SHOWTIME ACTION – D406 SHOWTIME COMEDY – D407 SHOWTIME DRAMA – D408 MOVIE ONE – D411 MOVIE TWO – D412 FAMILY MOVIE CHANNEL – D413 STARPICS 1 – D415 STARPICS 2 – D416 MOVIE EXTRA – D417 MOVIE GREATS – D419 MOVIES 24 – D424 TCM – D428 WORLD MOVIES – D430 and

    V – D801 V HITS – D803 MAX – D805 MTV HITS – D808 VH1 – D810 TMF – D812 CMC – D815 Now don’t they look better than what’s being advertised above?!

  9. Billy Ray Valentine says why wouldnt they make fox sports hd 1 201, hd2 202 and hd3 203 ?

    Because Foxtel Cable has ABC HD on 202, Seven HD on 207, Nine HD on 209, One HD on 210 etc.

  10. I like that they’re moving MTV and E! within spitting distance of each other – those channels get a lot of play in my house (perhaps a tactic acknolwedgement that MTV is no longer a music station)

    I also think moving BBC World News to the back is an epic WIN! I think they’re giving prominence to higher rating channels and like it or not – Fox and CNN would command a bigger share I reckon.

  11. Foxtel Cable:

    Channel 9 D100
    ABC1 D102
    Channel 7 D107
    Channel 10 D110
    ABC HD D202
    Seven HD D207
    Nine HD D209
    One HD D210
    SBS HD D228
    Seven 2 D227??
    Go! D229???
    Sentanta D525
    One D531

  12. I don’t see Go! or One?

    Also, does it matter what actual channel number each channel is. With 120 channels, who actually flips through the channels. Don’t you just page up or page through the EPG. Or go straight to the DVR?

  13. You know whats strange? Al Jazeera is available freely. Foxtel can choose to provide it at no cost. There is no encryption on it. So if u buy a satellite set-top box, it will pick up Al Jazeera.

  14. Foxtel are complete d**ks for 1)relegating BBC World News back there, and 2)not adding Al Jazeera English.
    This obvioulsy has everything to do with News Corps management influence at Foxtel.

  15. jakevin, I always though the reason Nine are at 100 is they paid to be the first channel on the whole line up. Might have been part of the bargaining deal when Nine were the first ones to go onto Foxtel digital.

  16. Foxtel also needs to launch three new channels MTV Hits, TMF and Movies 24. Since MTV has been dropped as a music channel, MTV Hits can have channel 808, TMF can have channel 812 and Movies 24 can channel 424 . Now everyone wins! Glad that the Style Network is on channel 122.

    Glad also however that MTV has finally become an entertainment channel on channel 124. Hope Movies 24 gets launched soon as it can have made-for-TV movies 24-7 and commercial free as well as become a movie channel along with FMC, Starpics 1, Starpics 2, TCM, World Movies, Showtime Premiere, Showtime Action, Showtime Comedy and Showtime Drama.
