Due to the technical difficulties 3ABN have been experiencing during this year on Optus D2 it has been decided to move 3ABN to a different transponder (channel) frequency on the satellite.
Both the old and new transponders are airing 3ABN at the same time until January 4, 2009 to facilitate the change over. THIS CHANGE SHOULD NOT AFFECT ANY OTHER CHANNEL ON YOUR RECEIVER!
