Can't get GEM

[bright.ton42]

My TV is compatible with the new channels and I've retuned it but can't get GEM.  When I press 92 it shows as Gem then immediately switches to 9HD.   If I press the 90 which used to be gEM it is showing as 9HD (which it should)  but no Gem.

Any ideas please?  Gem would be one of my favourite channels, dang it.

Outdoor aerial for the tv and dish for the austar.

I'm not really bothered, I'm watching the golf on 7 anyway 🙂

they said it's because my tv runs via a PVR  (doesn't everyone's???)

No it's a pvr. recorder not a set top box.  And I'd had no idea that that's what you retune if the TV is running via a pvr.

Anyway I retuned the pvr and all is good,  I've got my beloved GEM back.

Happy days.  Thanks everyone.

You don’t mention that it is not available in regional areas.

No, I didn’t – because I am referring to Channel 9, not WIN or NBN. But for clarity, unfortunately these changes only apply to Metro cities at the moment.

We're on WIN here on the south coast.
