My cable network lost Australia Plus (the new name for AN) late last year. When I asked them they said they couldn't find it anymore. Had it reset on my dish (Intelsat 19?) but after a few weeks that went as well. According to this you need to go to Intelsat 18 and review your settings. http://tv.australiaplus.com/tuning

Australia Network was cut last year because of budget cuts.

Try Australia Plus.

It went from Australia Network to Australia Plus late last year. It has now been cut and decommissioned.

Just another act to forcibly cut my ties with Australia ......

I really enjoyed watching Landline ... very good stories ...

Steven100, where did you get the information "now been cut and decommisioned" as there is nothing on their website or facebook page to indicate this ?? the info I received 2nd hand is that they need to re-set the settings to receive via streaming ??

On my cable network [Phuket Cable] Australia+ stopped for the first couple of weeks of the year, but started again about a week ago. It's still going right now.

From their website, True Visions (cable only).

What I enjoy the documentary and the clear slowly good understandible Aussie English!

The weather show , and animation of the forecast map was little old school style like 20 year ago same on nhk but in total was always something interesting on the Aussie network!

Espasaly for those who got tiered of the daily national geographic and discovery soap opera , with there endless same series how it's made true the warm whole with Morgan freeman and the 10000th snake show,Aus network was defently the right channel to see something in a diffrent perspective !

This is what I keep trying to tell the people at WETV in Chiang Mai ...BUT they won't listen, let alone take advice as to where they can download it.

The whole thing was a con job by Mark Scott of the ABC. The Australia Network has ended in name only. It had a corporate makeover and rebranding and is now called Australia Plus.

Budget cuts? what a load of crap. It was a damned lie. Their online web presence, now, is huge, dual language, subtitles, multi layered, and more, and must have cost a motza. It was always part of the ABCs Strategy to increase web presence and it was all put in place long before the so-called cuts. But of course the Left Wing, soy latte sipping socialists believe it.

Australia's ABC closed down their SAT Service via Intelsat (PAS) 8 at 166E and are now broadcasting on the C Band at 180E (although I haven't had my large dish re pointed yet) so I can't advise on reception from Intelsat 18 at 180E This I suspect was to provide a better footprint into China. Where they are making huge inroads into TV media there.

I have True Cable, it is on there. It used to be on CTH but for some reason they removed it, about the same time the Military Government at last lifted the broadcast restriction of it. Due to the ABCs Pro Taksin stance. I have both services. I haven't checked CTH for a few weeks but last time I looked it was still absent.

You can also get yourself a VPN and watch ABC Iview, Ten Play, 9 Catchup etc. over the net. VPNs are made easy these days, self installing, no hassle. IPTV - the future of Television.

Australia Plus is now back on streaming on my XBMC link supplied by my provider

[Sandman77]

Does someone have a Slingbox and can streaming it?

I think 180 east from thailand is behind horizont
