Are you Digital Ready?
In 2013 all analogue TV services will be switched off and free to air or "Freeview" digital TV will be the only TV services available to domestic and commercial consumers. The will affect some users enormously and will affect others hardly at all. The question is, which one are you?
Regardless of all the information that is currently available, the truth is domestic premises with a TV purchased within the last 2-3 years will be un-affected by the change. Earlier TVs will need a set top box installed to recieve the digital TV channels and these are a sub $100 item.
Who will be affected?
Some businesses however will be affected enormously. Many installations done within the last few years have analogue "head ends" which will be unable to deliver modulated Austar / Foxtel services to patrons. Initially this may not affect the business, but as time passes new TVs installed will not be able to receive the modulated signals and the entire system will need to be replaced.
