Satellite TV Feedback

You can only get the channels that are transmitted via satellite. At this stage no digital stations are available although it is digital TV we get through the satellite.
One day someone in Canberra will realise that not everyone lives in a city and will will be permitted to access a wider range of stations.
Same thing with Satellite internet. The subsidy is being cut out because of the fibre optic roll out. Can't see if we don't have copper cable available to the property that we will get fibre optic.

Not much help here Goldfind but I can tell you after our trip along the Great Ocean Road in Vic that just 240km west of Melbourne on the GOR the locals receive NT and North Qld channels. TV programs are mostly the same, but, the time difference with daylight savings causes confusion and the advertising has no relevance to Vic.

So you are not alone there and I have no idea why this is, but, the digital roll-out which I thought was well under way is dragging the chain significantly, Broken Hill gets their update in December 2012 if I have read the Gov Website correctly.

We are about 15KMs south of Yallingup and have had Sat. Tv for about 10 years. We also only have the choice of ABC, SBS, Win & GWN - all analogue. We used to be able to access ABC & SBS from the eastern states but haven't tried that recently. Apparently, there is a law preventing us from getting 7 & 9 in the country.

I wanted to buy a 12v decoder for my caravan but it seems that we will have to change our decoders when digital becomes available so have put that on hold for now.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I guess its a matter of sitting on our hands waiting for Mr Rudd to follow through with another promise (digital reception rollout)
