Seven reveals new channel – 7flix
RELATED CONTENT: February 29 – Regional and Foxtel viewers annoyed at lack of access to Network Seven’s new 7Flix channel
Seven tonight announced that it will be launching a new film and entertainment channel – 7flix.
The latest addition to Seven’s free-to-air channel lineup comes weeks after the launch of Nine’s new lifestyle offering, 9Life at the end of November. At the same time, Nine restacked its spectrum, moving Gem into standard definition and launching 9HD, a high definition simulcast of its main channel.
The announcement from Seven come during the first ad break of its broadcast of Molly, the dramatisation of the life story of Countdown presenter Molly Meldrum.
The trailer for 7flix promises “movies to fall in love with” and “big shows that you can’t get enough of”. Along with a mixture of rom-com movie clips and children’s programming, the trailer heavily features US sitcom Seinfeld.
The new 9Life channel has quickly gone on to gain a significant share of viewing. Across last week it averaged an audience share of 2.5% – putting it ahead of other rival secondary channels including Ten’s Eleven, SBS Food Network and SBS 2, and also ahead of sister channel Gem. Last night, 9Life was the second most watched secondary channel, with a 4.1% share.

Expectation of the new channel launch by Seven has been growing since before Christmas after a message saying “Coming Soon” appeared on the electronic program guide.
The announcement – which came on the first night of the official ratings year – means that metro TV viewers will have a choice of 17 free to air channels.
The success of 9Life, and moderate success of SBS’s new Food Network will raise the question of whether Ten will also attempt to squeeze an additional channel out if its allocated spectrum. If Ten shareholder News Corp succeeds in its buyout of Sky News, it could potentially include a free to air version of the subscription TV news channel.
7flix launches in three weeks’ time, on February 28.

Great news an New tv channel on the seven network called seven flix channel on 76 channel in February28/2016 but no sound

The 7flix naming is just sad, particularly when Pretty Woman, Mindy Project, Legally Blonde, Pitch Perfect, and Elaine-centric Seinfeld clips make it appear to be the female-oriented equivalent of 7mate. 7missus? 7sheila?

The Seven Network should have created a 24/7 music/entertainment channel instead. That would have challenged Foxtel with MTV, Channel V, Fox8 and more.

From what I’ve read, 7flix is going to be just another channel loaded with old American programmes that have already been repeated to death. 9Life is packed with rubbish programmes, too. These channels are simply lame and cheap endeavours masquerading as “entertainment”.

Do we get Bill Collins or a replacement for 7’s late great Ivan Hutchinson to intro the movies again?
Seven, how are you going to make this channel different from just another old fashioned and outdated movie channel concept…
Put some elbow grease into your strategy and really think hard about why I would turn on your channel over watching my VPN’d Netflix and see all your movies ad free.
Otherwise, you might as well kick out your channel staff and automate the whole channel. Oh… maybe you have already done this….

I have optus. Will I get the new channel?

It looks identical to channel GO and ELEVEN. Why don’t they try something that has not been done on free to air before. Like a Crime Investigation/ Documentary channel.
User ID not verified.
Why not have a channel dedicated to the 70s and 80s with a mixture of tv shows and movies for that era. I just hope you do not show movies and tv shows that you have previously played in the past. Why not have cult classics shown instead like toxic avenger, attack of killer tomatoes and shows like the a- team airwolf.

i agree that they should do crime investigation and documentaries try something different then channel 9 go.
User ID not verified.
Can;t wait if this is going to be a real channel with movies sit coms, Documentary’s and good television but if all we are getting is another info channel or lifestyle channel you can keep its just a waste of time. I note in you comments you say there are 17 free to air channels I would argue that is not the case because most the channels outside the regular channels 7.9. and 10 are really rubbish with half of them being nothing more than info channels I mean seriously how many times can you sit and watch Brazilian Gems Blueberry Quartz, flawless eyes, shark rotator or the anxiety channel and they are repeated day after day after day. . These aren’t free to air television channels these are just 24/7 advert channels and most the rest are lifestyle or food channels. What we need is dedicated free to air movie and documentary channels not the rubbish that is being thrown at us currently. So hopefully 7 flix actually gives us a better range of choice. While I am at it I am so sick of having insurance Adverts shoved down my throat all though the day watching free to air TV . We all know we are going to drop off the perch but seriously we don’t need to be reminded in every 5 minutes set of ads when we are trying to enjoy being entertained and please can someone explain to when repeat TV became and encore again so sick of encore after encore after encore . Rant over!!

Isn’t this just 7mate but with a different name and channel number? They should have went with a 24/7 sports channel or an HD simulcast of their main channel.

Doubt we will get anything decent on this new channel – it is highly unlikely they will show movies that got aired on 44’s Shlocky Horror Picture Show every Friday night!

Yet another channel which is in a format all my TV’s do not support. Along with 9HD, 74, 78 and the newly coming 10HD. Why should we have to buy a house full of new TV sets just because the stations want to use the latest encoding format. Appears I will NOT be watching these new channels. Great marketing – I think NOT.
User ID not verified.
There might not be any shows on it I like unless I find out and wait. I’ve already tuned it into my TV and PVR. The Muppets looks good but the rest doesn’t look good.
User ID not verified.
In reply to Syd, who said “Why should we have to buy a house full of new TV sets just because the stations want to use the latest encoding format,” the answer is because if they didn’t use that format, they wouldn’t be able to add the new channels.
The “latest encoding format” in question (h.264 aka “MPEG-4”) was released in 2003 (before YouTube was invented). It is far from new, and TV manufacturers have known it was likely to become very popular many years ago. This encoding format allows TV networks to fit more channels on any given chunk of broadcasting frequencies (spectrum). NZ (and other countries) use it exclusively for their terrestrial TV channels.
If they used a newer encoding format, (say the 2013 released h.265), they could fit even more channels in and/or run them at higher resolutions. For the same picture quality, you can fit a little over twice as many channels in as h.264.
So if your TV equipment was made in the last ten years, you should get upset with the manufacturer that they didn’t include h.264 support. My $30 set top box from 5 years ago supports it fine. If the ABC or SBS decided to start broadcasting h.265 channels, I would happily spend another $30 to receive them.

Checked the EPG. Just another channel full of crap. Quantico is being repeated all 11 episodes up to the midseason break. The season starts again with Episode 12 airs on the 6th March in the USA when will we get to see it many moons later???.

We are not able to see this new channel in regional areas yet, but there have been a few ads for the station on regional TV. maybe we will see it in about six months time…
Probably moving movies to the ‘side’ channel so that seven can show more sport on their main channels.

I am really hoping this new channel has a lot of movies, and not just one a week, and hopefully not a movie, that’s going to relplay over and over, every week!
I am so SICK of sport on my TV! So Here’s hoping it’s more female orientated.

Tuned into 7flix this morning. What a missed opportunity for 7. It’s analogous to GEM but with a serial string of episode repeats. FTA really is dead.

So I live on the Gold Coast & cannot tune in the new Flix channel.
Reading some of the comments above suggest it’s not coming to regional areas (although the Gold Coast is bigger than some capital cities). So I’ve had to sit through countless ads about Flix, but won’t actually be able to see it
Also, I’m going to miss out on new episodes of one of my fave shows The Mindy Project
Good on ya, channel 7!. Another stuff up! Guess I’ll just continue to watch less free-to-air tv (how tired is MKR looking at the moment) & more Netflix & Stan

Iam sick and tired off all the life style channels police chase programmes all I want to watch on tv when I get home from work is a good old movie with some action and a bit of comedy I hope that the new flix programme will get a lot more old movies with decent actors that can really entertain you not these wooden dopes that are acting today

Omg once upon a time has just been moved to another channel. I am a female I don’t like chick flicks they make me I’ll ! I would rather watch action packed movies, documentaries and crime shows not the boring dribble that’s on the commercial promoting 7Flix, These shows have been run a million times over the last 20 years. I didn’t like them when they first came out mindless boring crap. I am sure you guys could find something more stimulating that we could watch whilst we are chilling out ? What’s the point of putting another channel on tv when it’s the same stuff as before ? I just don’t understand it must be run by males lol

Have a Digital TV, less than 5 years old model GVA32HD, tried retuning several times and cannot receive this new 76 7Flix channel. Live in inner Melbourne.
In fact, prior to retuning Ihad all of 9’s HD channel’s appear on the viewing list (couldn’t get good reception on them, TV not HD), but now these channels have disappeared from my viewing list.

I want my tv to be free to air and will hold out against paying for movies till the last. If I have to endure being told not to leave it to the kids to pay my funeral so be it. They have more money than I have. So I hope there will be lots of good movies and sit coms- as long as we don’t get another thousand repeats of Friends!

My HD TV and DVD Recorder were both bought brand new just over 4 years ago and I can’t get the new 7Flix channel.
According to everything I’ve seen online, it’s supposed to be some that are 6 years or older that may have issues. Four years old is ridiculous.
For the last week the tv/dvd recorder has had no problem finding it as it was showing up in the EPG as 7Flix on Channel 74 until yesterday when it suddenly disappeared.
Nice one Channel 7. When I find out who advertises on 74 I’ll make sure never to buy from them. And tell them why.

I choose not to buy a new set or piece of equipment everytime the media broadcasters and sellers conspire to hold us hostage. Free to air media requires customers to sell their advertising, whereas we customers now have other choices. It’s up to the broadcasters to come to the party and acknowledge that the customers they hope to keep are generally the ones with the older technology and no wish or finance to keep updating.

I found out, almost by accident, that my old Panasonic Blu-Ray recorder (DRM-BW850) successfully records the new Channel 76 TV programs perfectly, so I can watch them later. BUT I cannot view the same programs on the TV in real time (I am connected to a Fujitsu Plasmavision). The weird thing is that I am able to get the sub-titles of the new TV program coming up on the screen, but no picture and no sound (same applies for all MPEG-4 TV broadcasts). Bummer, but at least for the programs I really want to see, I can record & watch later.

Fear not. Channel 7 does have 1 redeeming feature. Plus 7. Although I cannot tune any of my TV’s to the new 7Flix channel, I can watch it online via Plus 7. (Unlike Channel 9’s live online streaming “9Now” which still has a LONG way to go to catch up with channel 7) Channel 9 line streaming online (when it does work that is) still thinks I am in Victoria although I live in WA. My ISP is based out of Victoria (Dodo) and channel 9 works out your location using IP address not your device’s location settings. All the programs are 2 hours ahead of me. 9Now, more like “9TwoHoursFromNow”

I think that the people who are constantly asking “Why am I getting sound but no picture” for 7Flix have not read any previous posts on this forum.
You cannot see a picture because you TV does not support the new channel’s format.

If all the people asking the same daft question on this thread are somehow involved in or associated with the advertising industry, then there’s a bigger problem to address!!!

So, I’ve read all the comments before. I know why I can get sound but no picture on my tv. I even think I know why channel 7 decided to put 7flix up in mpg format. What I don’t understand is why they didn’t see fit to inform the general public that in order to watch the new channel, the TV or a set-top box would need to be mpg4 compatible? There was plenty of opportunity during the blanket advertising phase. Instead, when we attempt to tune in, some of us (btw my tv was bought in the boxing day sales 2014) cannot view the new channel, and are left without any explanation as to why. I feel this is VERY poor customer service. Don’t underestimate the collective intelligence of your viewers. Sure, there are some people viewing out there who’s IQ is the same as their shoe size, but they will talk and complain either here or on social media. When the word gets back to corporations that people are feeling “ripped off” or “disappointed” with a channel, you can bet it will make them think twice about spending their advertising budget airing their ads on a channel many “can’t get”.
Very poor showing, channel 7.

When 76 Flix started a week ago, I decided to record Benson. All went well UNTIL about Friday when, for some reason, the sound won’t come through on the recording. If I watch 76 Flix Live I get sound. No problems recording the other stations!
Anyone else get this?

who cares about HD, there is no difference with the quality so why fix something that`s not broken. half of your viewers cannot get these channels so why do it. its the idiots that sit at the round table and go hey this is a great idea but have no idea how the real world works, okay for the ones who make these decisions cause they get paid millions for these f#&%ing stupid ideas.

My sister and I have the exact same TV…not just same brand but exact same model.
We live in same suburb (Elwood, VIC).
Her TV has Ch 76, my TV doesn’t.
So yeah, confused.

To all the folks whinging about not able to get an image on Channel 76, contact the manufacturer and see if there is a firmware upgrade. Simple.

My TV is not old either only a couple of years old.
My daugher lives five minutes away from me and their TV had no trouble getting 76.

Just how many times will these morons subject us to the black and white western called Badman’s Terrritory?? This film has been screening several times a month -daytime and evening. Just how many times can we be subjected to Randolf Scott and the feisty lady?? Isn’t there a review board to protect us from the SAME film being shown OVER and OVER again?? There must be other WESTERNS 76 can show!!!!!!!

How right you are, John. The Black and White dreary Western called Badman’s Territory is being shown almost every week – over and over and over and over and over again!! Something should be done to stop this appalling, cheap use of our TV screening.
