I believe this is exclusive to Knowfirst, happy to be corrected if not.

The following is from multiple sources - I try to confirm with at least 2 people before posting something, as accuracy is paramount.

This is current, but things can obviously change.


NOVEMBER 2010

*BBC Knowledge HD
*Nat Geo Wild HD
*MTV Live HD
*Speed HD
*3D Channel (for events like ESPN X Games etc - this is already on D206)

*MTV Hits SD (this was The Music Factory on Optus)
*MTV Live SD (down-converted from MTV Live HD)
*Speed SD (down-converted from Speed HD)
*Fox Sports SD (X-Box only)

*Nat Geo +2
*Nat Geo Wild +2
*Animal Planet +2
*13th Street +2

*16 Foxtel Box Office channels will be taken down for the Commonwealth Games channels, but only 8 or so will go back up.

There will also be channels added in the first half of next year (more than likely first quarter), multiple sources confirm.

My Austar source says the company is aware of the new additions that are being planned and is likely to add some or all of them at the same time. This however cannot be confirmed.

I believe Foxtel is investing heavily in its X-Box program - I reckon we could see exclusive channels for it in the near future as well.


More details as I get them

Spaced-out adolescents in headphones litter YouTube, some panting and others wincing as they listen to droning, pulsating soundtracks known as iDoses.

They have fallen victim to an insidious new digital drug culture that preys on vulnerable young teens with money to burn.

With nothing but an mp3 player and an internet account they can can legally download 'binaural' audio downloads that claim to deliver a 'high' that can mimic drugs like LSD and Crystal Meth.
