what is TV channel 31?

rabbitearbandicoot — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 10:59:35 GMT

I use this link to see what's on TV - too cheap to buy a TV Guide.

http://www.yourtv.com.au/guide/brisbane/

can anyone tell me what channel 31 is? and how to get it? I have done several scans over the last few weeks but it never comes up.

if you look at this link, the very last channel (well, on my list anyway) channel 31 - at 8:30pm tonight it has a program called "Guitar Gods and Masterpieces".

I think it's an SBS channel we deleted it.

Channel 31 is located in Geelong, Vic.

It is an international type channel with lots of news from all over the world in different languages, and some great other programs.

OH said you need a digial TV or digital box to go to the menu and auto store channel 31 or 44. 44 is the same channel. We watch some programs, especially on Monday 4pm Ken Harris Art Class and at 4.30pm Wayne Clements Art Studio. Both painters have different methods of painting and explain step by step, the easy way how to create something with paint on canvas.

Hope this helps, Erica

Sorry, freddy, it is not SBS, just a small channel. Has a lot of local events, advertises local business and small gardening, cooking and arts and crafts shows.

It is a free to air Community channel broadcasting in most Capital cities. We have never been able to receive it successfully even though it does come up in our list of channels and was supposedly programmed into our TV.

I've tried to manually tune to 564.5 but I can't get anything.

All the community TV stations are getting dumped, or have been already, onto internet streaming.

just found this in wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/31_Digital

"After a long time of uncertainty, 31 went digital on 7 June 2010. With the discontinuation of analogue television services the station now broadcasts on 529.500 MHz."

I'll try that.

It is found at 44. It has some good old movies, some religion, gardening, painting, etc.

But you won't get it on the Sunshine Coast. The signal is very weak. Sometimes you will get a distorted picture.

Thanks for that. Up until recently I got it with pressing 3 and 1 then it didn't work, but it does on 44. I'm in Melbourne

though. It does have some good programs though.

Rove had his beginnings on Channel 31 on a program called something like In The Attic. I haven't been able to get Channel 31 since the storms we had a couple of months ago.
