Seven Digital 4 Melbourne

[IanL-S]

Just did a service scan and it found a new 'channel', 7 Digital 4 (chanell 6 but no provider). Content seems to be identical as Seven Digital (LCN 7) and LCN 70 and 71. The LCN is 78.

Does anyone know what it is doing?

Looks like this is going to be a horse racing channel, some more info available at http://www.smh.com.au/business/seven-to-show-horse-racing-from-tuesday-to-counter-tabcorp-blackout-20150614-ghngbh.html

Thanks Daniel

I suspected that may be the explanation.

Unlike other transmission it is MPEG-4 AVC ts (aka H.264) rather than MPEG 2 ts. This give considerably better compression.

It has now been renamed to 'racing.com', so the speculation was correct.
