Satellite service for digital TV
The Government is committed to ensuring, as far as possible, that every Australian has access to digital television.
The vast majority of Australians receive their television services from the network of broadcaster-owned transmission towers and they will continue to do so after the switch to digital. However, for those who live outside the coverage of this terrestrial network, a new satellite television service is needed to ensure that they are able to enjoy the same benefits of digital television as other Australians.
