Anyone been watching this? I have nfi why channel 9 have split their channels like this, it's quite odd. Channel ten's approach makes sense a 24/7 sports channel is pretty good, but re-runs and old tv shows? WTF

For me, TV progams have gone down hill since the end of the 90's. I proberly spend more time browsing the net more than watching TV.

GO! has Seinfeld every night, and is playing Sarah Connor Chronicles and Fringe at decent hours. It's awesome
I like to think of normal Channel 9 as stuff to just keep the oldies who still watch the channel happy, and GO! as having less of a ratings focus and just showing stuff (some of which, as it turns out, is quite decent)

Yeah, I figure that it'l be where Nine put shows that are probably fairly popular in their own right but don't draw in enough of an audience to justify decent timeslots.

I like the shows that are on Go! but the picture quality is just atrocious. I feel like I'm watching youtube. It should at the very least be on par with nine digital in terms of picture quality, and in an ideal world, broadcast in HD.

It's looks perfectly fine to me, not exactly HD quality, yes, but still about the same as normal Channel 9

I was so pissed when they took that off air, I was really enjoying it and they left it with such a cliffhanger too.

Perhaps its my tv, or how it's picking up the channel? what is the digital channel number for Go? On my tv (Panasonic viera) its being broadcast on the old channel 9 guide channel (ch. 99) but since Go went live that channel no longer displays any channel or programming info. I've tried updating or searching for new channels but it hasn't updated as of yet.

I've got a reasonably recent model Bravia and haven't had any problems with the picture quality but, ever since the channel has become active, the tv guide functon for channel nine (and sometimes Go) is ****ed.

I enjoyed Sunday night and while I didn't watch it the Wednesday lineup sounds good. But the rest of it is all a bit worrying. I'm not sure that they're really on to a winner.

I did an update of the digital channels and it seemed to fix it. The quality has improved alot from what it was (though still average), and it now displays the channel info.

My mum watches Go for I Dream of Genie and Bewitched as it reminds her of her childhood.
