When will Analog TV be turned off?
The process will commence in 2010 in Mildura and will be completed in 2013 in Sydney.
You should not wait until your region is being switched off before you convert to digital, you can switch now and enjoy the benefits of digital TV right away.
Digital TV is currently available in the Blue Mountains, via the North Sydney and Wollongong TV transmitters.
Why should I switch to Digital television?
Compared to analogue TV, Digital provides a superior viewing experience; better pictures and better sound. Plus extra services such as on-screen TV-Guide (EPG or Electronic Program Guide). Your Digital tv picture should appear as clear as watching a DVD and if you have a High Definition Set Top Box or TV, you will be able to enjoy even higher quality AD’s in between your favourite HD TV shows. As usual. 
Will I get more TV Channels on Digital TV or FreeView?
Yes. If you’re currently watching analog television, you will receive a maximum of 5 channels.
By switching to Freeview digital television now, you will get high definition viewing with up to 5 more channels than what you currently receive. This includes 24 hour sport on ONE HD, twice as much SBS on SBS TWO, TRIPLE the amount of ABC with ABC 2 and ABC 3, up to 20 hours of unique programming per week on 7-Two and 7HD and a new entertainment channel for the young and young at heart on GO!
