Going digital gives us clearer pictures and better sound. Freeview|HD, SKY, and TelstraClear offer many programmes in full HD (high definition).
Improved Reception
Switching to digital will give us better reception, especially in areas where an analogue signal is hard to get.
More Channels
You'll be able to watch between 11 and 13 TV channels and 3 or 4 radio stations for free. If you choose a pay-TV service like SKY or TelstraClear, you'll receive their other channels too.
Enhanced Features
Digital TV will offer electronic programme guides, which provide viewers with on-screen menus showing current and upcoming programming.
The old analogue network will
be progressively turned off
between September 2012
and November 2013. We're
going digital so we can all have
better picture and sound quality and more
channels to choose from.
Digital broadcasts are already in
place throughout the country so
you can make the switch now.
In fact, most of us are already
watching digital TV, but some
people don't have the equipment
they need to go digital. By the end of 2013, we will all be watching digital TV.
