Talk:Austar

Sky Racing/TVN Battle

I have removed the reference to TVN and added a note regarding why it was removed from the lineup. Once the action that is being taken by Sky Channel is resolved it can be changed to reflect the situation. --bacco007 05:48, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Austar Remote

Can we flip it so that it is the correct way, and crop away the unnecessary parts of the image? I'm probably just being picky, but we want our articles to look nice, right? Also, can we remove the "I got this information..." Reference from the MyStar part of the article? Douglas 08:20, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

I have fixed those issues. - Mike Beckham 08:58, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! Quick turnaround! 124.171.109.88 10:26, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Austar Channel List

If that's okay with everyone I've started a page with a List of Austar channels, like the one for Foxtel so I'll be deleting the channel list from the main Austar page and directing the list of channels to that page. Jeffmister 10:34, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Just had a quick look at the channel list, looks good! Well done! Douglas 04:43, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Someone has decided to add it again. I'll remove it, we don't need it and the seperate article. It's pointless. Douglas (talk) 00:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I miss your list. It was awesome. Some idiot named Beeblerox thought he'd take it upon himself to delete all channel lists because of a Wikipedia policy I say should be up for discussion. I am not a hardcore wikipedia user though but I would love it if you couild do this again.

The Austar order is the same as Foxtel. The Austar page has a link to the Foxtel page. Which gives you an indication of what number range a channel falls into. As for not listing the exact number, you should go to the Foxtel website for that or use the guide on your STB. --Helmboy (talk) 00:34, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

MyStar Out

When the MyStar comes out, will we start a new Wiki about it? If so, count me in! Douglas C (talk) 02:10, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

• the mystar is out now for customers that were on the list (i was ) and i will have the new mystar on Friday. Thuringowacityrep (talk) 05:34, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

• • We're getting ours today. It looks a helluva lot cooler than the IQ! Pity there's not 2 FTA tuners in it, but. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcarriso (talk • contribs) 00:56, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I am going to get a photo of our MyStar and remote tonight and upload it on Saturday. Douglas C (talk) 03:39, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I have uploaded the MyStar image as Image:Austar_MyStar_Front.jpg, however, I have no idea how to put it into the article. If someone could do that, that would be great. Douglas C (talk) 23:09, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

• Added the image of the mystar for you, hope you like what i did. Thuringowacityrep (talk) 01:01, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

• • Thanks! I must learn how to do that. Douglas C (talk) 00:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Official company name

I would like to make note that the use of 'Austar' by itself is always in capitals, ie AUSTAR. The only time that AUSTAR is not capitals is when Austar United Communications Limited is being referred to. 121.221.175.170 (talk) 11:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I would also like to make note that AUSTAR has never been known as 'Austar Pty Ltd', the company name is AUSTAR Communications. Please see austar.com.au for verification on this 121.221.175.170 (talk) 11:44, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Image of Atlas removed

I removed the image of Atlas because it is of poor quality and has several other unrelated remotes on top. If anyone can contribute a better picture, please do so. The Mystar image (Granted, I took it, so a bit of personal bias) is an excellent image. It was also in a very silly spot (Above the Mystar, they have very little in common). Perhaps we could start an Equipment or Decoders section? Douglas (talk) 00:24, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

NPOV dispute [Subscription television (Austar Television / Austar Digital)]

The On Demand (Featured) and the AUSTAR AnyWhere sections appear to be directly copied from the AUSTAR website word for word including subjective terms. This appears to be more like advertising rather than straight facts. --Harmo777 (talk) 14:51, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
