Digital Ready
Are you “Digital Ready”?
You may have seen the latest advertising campaign from the Government about this, but how do you know if your Antenna is “Digital Ready”?
If you are buying a new TV or set top box, the Australian Government has developed labels to help you choose the option that is right for you. Look out for these labels at your local electronics retailer.
Digital TV Capable only with a set top box
This label indicates that the TV is an analog TV and is capable of receiving digital free-to-air shows only when you attach it to a set top box. The set top box you choose will come in either standard definition or high definition format. The labels below (which appear on TVs and set top boxes in electronics retailers) will help you choose the option that is right for you.
Digital TV Ready Standard Definition
This label indicates that the TV or set top box can receive Standard Definition digital free-to-air shows. With Standard Definition, you will receive the same free-to-air shows you currently receive on analog TV. Digital TV is currently available in the Blue Mountains.
Digital TV Ready High Definition
This label indicates that the TV or set top box can receive High Definition digital TV. With High Definition broadcasts, you are able to receive the full range of channels, including those that are unavailable in Standard Definition. Digital TV is currently available in the Blue Mountains.
