hi folks,
I am travelling through the country, just came from
Canberra to
Sydney.
In
Canberra I jused a USB DVB-T stick to see TV on my labtop.
I have got about 6 different channels over there.
In
Melbourne and
Sydney now I get the message " bad signal" .
Does anybody know where I can find a map showing where digital terrestical TV is avaible ?
Chris

It is now available just about everywhere with significant
population.
Your problem is a most probably a crap antenna.
Once you are say 15-20Km ( maybe much less) from the transmitter, the little antenna is no good.
You need a caravan antenna and probably with a masthead amp.
To see the direction to ( and polarisation of ) the transmitter look at all the other antennas around you.
it is a complex exercise in Australia
Have a look at www.acma.gov.au for a list of transmitters and polarisations.
