I think they should of cut the Anlogue signal during early mrning programs between midnight and 6am instead of after the breakfast programs, like the pay tv operators do their maintenance at that time not when people are glued to the box.
@martbd then i wouln't have been able to capture the moment, This time of morning was the right time, Communications Minister was in charge of it anyway
wow mildura has already turned off analouge tv? i live in the western suburbs of melbourne and as far as i know we have another 3 years left with analogue tv
@mattyvt93 I Already have a Set Top Box, And the tip is actually going to dismantle all the TV's and sort each part for recycling, Glass tubes PCB's etc, Instead of going to landfill.
@daewooparts - Yes but it will free up so much spectrum for improved broadband nationally (amongst other applicatoins). In this instance, change is a good thing. It had to happen some time and sooner is better than later.
@NinjarieBint yes but when cassette tapes or VHS tapes were superceeded by new technology, people bought their own equipment to deal with that upgrade. Set top boxes are only $50
i still have analog up here in gosford, nsw
