• A wider choice of shows and program highlights better meets the needs of niche audiences

When you turn on your new Digital Radio, it is recommended to conduct a full scan to ensure all available stations are found. This function will be outlined in your user manual.

There are no plans at this stage to switch off AM and FM radio services. As there is an estimated five radio devices per home, listeners must be given time to change over all of their radios before any discussion of the switch off of analogue services. In addition, planning needs to continue for the switch on of digital services to the rest of Australia outside of the five metropolitan capital cities.

Digital Radio provides interference free, digital quality sound and your radio will find the best signal in your area rather than you messing around with tuning the dial.

Commercial Radio Australia (CRA) has already started planning the Digital Radio rollout in other areas throughout Australia. CRA is working on a regional trial of Digital Radio and is calling on the Federal Government to allocate VHF Band III spectrum in regional areas for the rollout of Digital Radio services across Australia.

No, Digital Radio is broadcast free to air over the airwaves via DAB+ technology. Internet-only radio services are streamed over the telecommunications networks and incur a download cost which varies depending on the internet service provider package. Free to air broadcast radio stations will also stream their current radio stations plus any new digital services on the internet as well as broadcasting, so the content can be accessed on both platforms.

Only DAB+ Radios will receive Digital Radio in Australia. When buying a new Digital Radio look for the DAB+ enabled logo.

Event or Pop Up stations are digital stations that exist for a short period of time and then change into another concept. Like the station - Radio Gaga celebrating Lady Gaga’s Fame Monster tour of Australia or Elf Radio playing Christmas songs throughout the festive season. Digital Radio allows for flexible niche programming that can highlight an event, a festival or artist – the possibilities are endless.

Australia is switching from analogue to digital TV broadcasting. This process is being managed by the Australian Government’s Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy. This department has set up a taskforce called the Digital Switchover Taskforce. Over the next few years, the Government will be turning off the current signal that carries the television signal (analogue) and replacing it with a digital signal. It is a phased roll out and will begin in Mildura in June 2010 and each region in Australia will be switched by the 31st of December 2013. Go to http://www.digitalready.gov.au for more information.

It's important that Australia keeps pace with worldwide changes in technology. Overseas programs are increasingly being recorded in the digital format only and Australian TV shows need to be recorded in the digital format to be easily exported overseas.

The Government also wants to free up broadcast space in Australia. TV is currently broadcast in both digital and analogue signals. This is costly and inefficient. Turning off the analogue signal will free up space that could be used for other services for the community.

In addition to this, moving to digital will improve your viewing experience. Picture and sound quality on digital TV is better, pictures on digital TV can be seen in widescreen and with Freeview, you will continue to have the same free-to-air channels, plus lots of new channels which means more content and more choice.

The switchover process will commence in 2010 and will continue until the end of 2013. It will be rolled-out progressively around the country, region by region. The first region to be switched off will be Mildura on 30th June 2010 and the last region is Sydney on 31st December 2013.

Go to http://www.digitalready.gov.au to find out when the analogue transmission will be switched off in your area.

There is no need to 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 most areas.

Freeview is a free digital television service. It comprises all the channels from Australia’s free-to-view broadcasters, including the ABC, SBS, Seven Network, Nine Network, Network Ten, Prime, WIN and Southern Cross.

Between 2010 and 2013, the analogue free-to-view TV signals in Australia will be switched off and replaced with digital-only signals. Once the analogue signal has been turned off, the only way for Australians to continue to watch their favourite TV shows for free, is to convert from analogue to Digital via Standard Definition, High Definition or Freeview Digital equipment.

For more information about the digital switchover and timings, see “About Digital Television” or go to http://www.digitalready.gov.au

If you are currently watching analogue television, you will receive a maximum of five channels. In metropolitan areas, this includes ABC1, SBSONE, 7, 9 and Ten. By switching to Freeview, you will get High Definition viewing experience more channels, for free. As a guide, some of the additional channels that are available include:

ABC2 - ABC for Kids on 2 entertains pre-schoolers weekdays from 9 am to 6 pm and 6 am to 6 pm on weekends. In the evening, ABC 2 provides contemporary, edgier adult programming including comedy, drama and documentaries from home and around the world.

ONE - A 24 hour sports channel that’s available in both standard and high definition*

SBS TWO - Australia’s multicultural digital channel providing more of the world’s best stories, more world film and drama, documentaries, international news and sport

GO! - An entertainment channel for the young and young at heart

7TWO - Now brings you more of the brand new and classic TV you love

ABC3 - A commercial-free, dedicated kids channel created for 6-12 year olds

In addition, 7HD, 9HD, ABCHD and SBSHD provide simulcast programming of their main channels, in high definition digital picture and sound. In the future, these simulcast programs will be replaced with unique programming as more Australians switch to Freeview.

TVS has also launched in digital in the Sydney metropolitan area. More community channels are due to join Freeview throughout 2010.

*Metro regions only (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth). In Regional areas, ONE is only available in HD.

No, FreeTV is a completely separate entity. FreeTV is an industry body which represents all of Australia’s commercial free-to-view television licensees. The organisation provides a forum for discussion of industry matters and is the public voice of the industry on a wide range of issues. FreeTV is responsible for the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice and provides a service to classify and advice on television commercials and infomercials.

For more information about FreeTV, please visit http://www.freetv.com.au

Yes, you will need to purchase a Standard Definition, High Definition or Freeview Digital Set Top Box or TV to upgrade to digital.

Individual broadcasters are responsible for the rollout of channels to regional areas. Content and programming vary according to geographical area based on the ownership of commercial TV licences in particular markets. So, for example, most of Sydney does not receive the regional channels broadcast by the Prime, WIN and Southern Cross regional networks, while regional markets do not receive channels broadcast by the metropolitan commercial networks.

If your subscription TV package provides access to some or all of the free-to-air channels, you'll still be able to watch these through your subscription TV box provided the broadcasters continue to allow their signals to be carried by the subscription TV provider. However, you may not be able to access all the free-to-air channels through subscription TV, so if you want to see the standard definition or high definition channels available in your area, you may need to connect a set top box or a digital TV recorder (if your TV is analogue). Alternatively, you may get a TV with a built-in digital tuner. If you are already subscribing or planning to subscribe to a subscription TV service, you should check with your provider and enquire about their options.

If you currently rely on an indoor antenna - also known as 'rabbit ears' – to get analogue TV you may need to upgrade to an external antenna to receive adequate and reliable digital signals. This is because it is unlikely that all digital channels will be available with the same orientation as the indoor antenna. However, in areas of high signal strength, an indoor antenna may be sufficient to receive all digital free-to-air channels.

Both standard and high definition televisions are digital formats. Standard definition (SD) television provides digital images and sound that is considerably better than analogue. High definition (HD) television is an enhancement that provides higher resolution images and Dolby Digital surround sound. If you connect a set top box to an analogue television, or have a television with a standard definition digital tuner, you will receive all the standard definition free-to-air digital channels. To see all the benefits of high definition television, including the free-to-air HD channels, you need a television capable of displaying high definition images that either has a built-in HD tuner or is connected to a high definition set top box.

After the switchover free-to-air television will only be available in digital so you’ll need to have a television that is capable of receiving digital signals. You can convert your existing analogue TV using a digital set top box or digital TV recorder, upgrade to a television with a built-in digital tuner, or subscribe to a subscription TV service that offers your digital free-to-air channels. If you don’t know whether or not your TV already has a built-in tuner, check to see if you can receive ABC2 or SBS TWO. If you can your TV is already digital and you don’t need to change or upgrade it. If you are receiving ABC2 and SBS TWO through your subscription TV service, you will need to check with your provider about access to other free-to-air digital channels. If you connect a set top box or digital TV recorder to your analogue TV and don’t get a good digital signal, you might need to check your antenna. Most people who are getting a good analogue TV signal should receive a good digital signal. You may also consider contacting your local broadcaster to enquire if digital services have commenced in your area.

If you choose not to do anything you will lose access to free-to-air TV when the switchover is complete in your area. That’s why it’s important that you plan ahead and, if necessary, budget for the change to digital.

Two handbooks have been produced that provide information about antennas and other issues that could affect digital television reception. There is one book for people living in apartment blocks and other buildings with a shared antenna system, and another book for people living in houses with a single antenna. You can find the Digital TV Antenna Systems Handbook and Digital TV Antenna Systems for Homes Handbook on http://www.digitalready.gov.au/publications.aspx.
