How can i tell if channel 7 (070) is HD when all 3 channel 7 channels display Digital (1 Viewer)

Hi,

I have a very confusing issue. I am trying to find out which channel is the 7HD 070 channel. When i scan for australian tv channels, for the 7 network i get 3 that show up...

7 digital
7 digital
7 digital 1

Now one of them is the HD channel 070 but it doesn't show me the channel name like 070 071 072. All i can go off is when i edit channel i can see the Transport ID and PMT PID ID. These ID numbers are different for all three network 7 channels. Does anyone know how to find out which one is the actual HD 070 channel? Thanks very much in advance for your help

None of the '7 Digital' channels are HD. The only HD channel for 7 is 7mate.

Really? I thought they used to advertise that channel 070 was in HD or did they change something?

Thanks again

It's only been like that since September 2010.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_HD
Seven HD breakaway programming ceased transmission on Sunday 4 October 2009 in preparation for the launch of 7TWO a few weeks later on 1 November. Seven HD then returned to being a high definition simulcast of Seven, before finally being replaced by 7mate on 25 September 2010.

7mate is an Australian free-to-air high definition digital television channel, which was launched by the Seven Network on 25 September 2010.[1][2]
The network stated that 7mate would contain sport and regular programs aimed primarily at a male audience, with programming drawn from a combination of new shows and other shows previously aired on its sister channels Seven and 7Two.[1] The channel replaced Seven HD as the Seven Network's high-definition channel, but broadcasts on channel 73.[1][3] The first program broadcast on 7mate was the drawn 2010 AFL Grand Final in high definition.
