Default Anyone from Newcastle?

Anyone from Newcastle having problems with their HDTV service being non existent at the moment?

For a couple of weeks I've lost all the HDTV channels with the exception of 10 and 7

Still got sbs, abc, 7, 9 and 10 in standard def.

Anyone else have the same problems or has my set top box had a stroke?

No problems here. Do a re-scan (auto program) of your channels.

They seem to have been renaming the Channel's.
NBN HD --> GEM
ABC HD --> ABC 24hour News

Yeah they've changed a bunch of names, but in Toronto it's been pretty good regarding reception for HDTV.

Done the scan every few days and it just keeps finding only the digital channels for 7 and 10

The reception for those is great as it is for the non-digital channels. If its not a widespread problem (which it seems its not) if must be my set top box i'm assuming.

Thanks for all the replies, appreciate it
