** I see there are Channel 31s in most of the capitals - that UHF
frequency has been allocated to Community TV ( CTV)
Each of them is operated by a different license holder and are analogue
only.
Thanks for the tip Dave.

We have ABC with fuzz, Prime (7) in black and white, SBS depends on the

is good some nights and non existent on other nights. We have a masthead
booster and two antennas (one uhf and the other has both bands) so all
according to the twits in this area installing them should be fine. Over
the road from us can't get normal FTA tv because of the powerlines and
both beside and behind us have the same as us. The olds a few hundred
metres away need three antennas to get a 1/2 decent service and the
signal is not good enough on ANY to get teletext which I used to use all
the time when I spent some time in Sydney.
We have MAJOR issues picking up the analogue tv service in our area, sojg wrote:

Supposedly in 2008 we will lose the normal analogue 'free to air'
TV channels. They are then going to leave us with full digital TV
and that's about it.
If that means we have to pay I won't care what's on. It'l be just like the
50's sitting round the radio and maybe we will be paying a lot less for the
advertising component of things we buy.
Digital TV is still "Free-to-Air"
Doesn't cost a cent apart from the initial set-top box which can be had
for well under $100.
Digital has lots of advantages over analog, and it is available now.
Yes, there are some shortcomings too, but they are relatively minor.

** Bad fucking luck.
Where broadcast analogue reception is entirely fortuitous - there is NO
NEED WHATEVER to supply YOU any TV service.
Make other arrangements if you want free to air TV signals.
SAME goes for ALL broadcast media.

Also have a look here, particularly the last couple of sentences.

In short, if your analogue reception is so poor or non-existent, then
digital may not work for you. However if you haven't already, you
should also look over the DBA website, particularly the link re when
is digital coming to your area. You may get satisfactory reception
from another site.

They're probably going more to places like Mr.Antenna, etc, dedicated
antenna installers, rather than retail outlets .. I know when i got my new
antenna on, i got it from bunnings and it is a combination antenna ..
actually what I had to get as we have a combination of analogue and digital
sets throughout our house running from the one antenna now, but I did notice
there was a lack of dedicated digital antennas ..

** No sign of them on offer on those guys web sites.
The wacky thing is that most folk NEVER watch the ABC yet are forced to buy
antennas 3 times bigger than needed anyhow.
A "digital antenna" will work fine for all current analogue signals except
Ch 2.

Thanks for that, looking at the info now. That K band system is
expensive, the local Leading Edge Electronics has a C1 system, box and

I've decided I'd rather spend the money on cheap DVDs (10 movies for
$8), by the time I spend the amount I would have spent on stuff to get
digital, I'll have an impressive collection of shit that is better that
the movies on free to air.

Ontop of my last, I think our biggest issue is the fact that the
antennas are not really designed for poor reception areas and every
person down the street with the same antenna (both V and U) have the
exact same issue. If we weren't renting I would buy a couple of 8footers
like the old man has, but since he is in a gully, even they are finding

And probably not as repetitive. I laugh at Austar/Foxtel/Optus now, when
it come out they made proud that it had no ads like FTA tv, now
everytime we go to the inlaws in Penrith who have Optus cable, it has as
many ads as our FTA but at a BS price.
