FAQ's

How do I watch ONE?

ONE is available in High Definition on (digital) Channel 1. If you have a High Definition television all you need to do is flick to Channel 1.

If you are not sure if your TV is Digital, test it out by flicking to Channel 10 on your TV.  If your television is NOT digital, head down to your local consumer electronics retailer and purchase a HD digital set-top box – this will mean you can view One HD Darwin in High Definition. Alternatively buy yourself an HD television and either way you will watch all your favourite sport in glorious High Definition!

I live in a regional area. Can I get ONE?

One HD Darwin broadcasts to the Top End area of approximately 100 kilometres which mean out to around Adelaide River.

When sport is LIVE is it live Australia wide?

Yes it is! ONE's programming schedule will run predominantly on one schedule for the whole country. This means that if someone is watching NBA live in Melbourne at 10am it will be live in Darwin at 9am etc. One’s new AFL show 'One Week At A Time' will therefore be live everywhere in Australia. The Thursday Night Live program is PG rated and therefore will be shown at 7.30pm in all regions.

Why don't you televise all Australian Sport live on ONE HD Darwin?

Some Australian sports are governed by the anti-siphoning laws in Australia which means that they must be shown on the main free-to-air channels first. This law was established before the introduction of ONE and means that ONE cannot show AFL, Australian Diamonds Netball matches, the Australian Grand Prix race etc on ONE before it is televised on Darwin Digital Channel Ten.
