The channel is available to high definition digital television viewers in metropolitan areas and Regional Queensland through a number of owned-and-operated stations, as well as via Prime HD.

When broadcast, the channel replaces the Seven Network's existing high definition service, a simulcast of its standard definition and analogue services. Due to an amendment of the "Broadcasting Services Act 1992" in 2006, the "Broadcasting Legislation Amendment (Digital Television) Act 2006", television networks are now permitted to launch digital multichannels, provided that they are broadcast exclusively in high definition.cite news
