Ok, seems Smallville has now become one of the shows on TEN HD. I don't mind, I have access to it and because of this hopefully it wont be a victim of the same symptoms on the normal 10 channel.
Even if you don't have a HDTV, and just a regualr TV you can still view this, you just need to purchase a HD set top box, which go for pretty cheap these days.

Network TEN has now released details of its new HD programming.
The channel operates as a 24 hour mix of analogue and HD programming. The bulk of the schedule mirrors the analogue channel with some specialist HD-only viewing in afternoons and evenings.
TEN will return some of its missing favourite shows to TEN HD, some as new episodes and others as repeats, plus movies and documentaries. It also launches some exclusive HD only franchises.
Returning dramas are Veronica Mars, Smallville, Battlestar Galactica, Torchwood, The 4400 and The Shield. New programmes include Stephen Bochco's US-Iraq war drama Over There and various documentaries.
But the viewing clocks in at around 35 hours, well short of its promise of "50 hours of programmes you won't see on TEN's main channel" -and some of it is on TEN analogue. The intended "Sci-Fi Saturday" has moved to Thurdays. Oddly, it will also see TEN News at 5 at 5:30pm! But at least its more than 7HD has offered thus far.
TEN HD launches on December 16. The first week of special HD programming is as follows:
Sun Dec 16 5pm TBA 5.30 Ten News 6pm Sports Tonight
8.30 Movie: Black Hawk Down 11.30 Concert: TBA
Mon Dec 17 3pm Ocean Adventures 4pm Amazing Planet 5pm Bold & Beautiful 5.30 TEN News
10.30 The Shield "Tapa Boca" 11.30 Movie: Snatch
Tue Dec 18 3pm Ocean Adventures 4pm Amazing Planet 5pm Bold & Beautiful 5.30 TEN News
10.30 Veronica Mars "President Evil" 11.30 Movie: The Patriot
Wed Dec 19 3pm Ocean Adventures 4pm Amazing Planet 5pm Bold & Beautiful 5.30 TEN News
10.30 Over There "Pilot" 11.30 Movie: Love and a Bullet
Thu Dec 20 3pm Ocean Adventures 4pm Wolfman 5pm Bold & Beautiful 5.30 TEN News
Oh, and if people don't have access to TEN HD yet, supposedly Coles can be found selling a HD set top box for $79. Though some people are having difficulty finding them. Still you may want to give it a try, and you don't need a HDTV to view it either (you just need something to pick up the signal).
This is the best news!
thanks Jibbles I would never have found out otherwise....Now all I have to do is go out and buy myself a HD set top box!
