Australian Seven Network Multiplex Transport Stream Analysis

The Seven Network is an Australian television network owned by the Seven Media Group. It dates back to December 1956, when the first stations on the VHF channel 7 were established in Sydney and Melbourne. It is currently the second largest network in the country in terms of population reach. Seven is currently the highest rating television network in Australia, ahead of its traditional rival the Nine Network, and constant third place holder Network Ten. 7TWO is an Australian free-to-air SD digital television channel which was launched by the Seven Network on 1 November 2009. The channel has been designed to target a broad range of viewers, broadcasting programmes from Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and will complement existing programming on the primary Seven channel.

The data was captured on 7 Feb 2010 by Andrew Somerville.
