ONE SD coming to Foxtel cable
Jun 27th
TEN’s new 24 hour sports channel, ONE, will be available to Foxtel cable viewers in standard definition from July 1st.
The re-broadcast of ONE HD’s content will be allocated channel number 531 when it is played out to Foxtel cable subscribers.
ONE SD will be grouped with the sports genre channels. ONE HD has already been available to cable viewers with High Definition channels.
For satellite subscribers the situation is less clear, due once again, to awaiting space on an Optus satellite due to go up later in the year.
