Digital TV Scan - Melbourne, Australia (Arista DVB-HD720 DVB-T)

This is a scan of the offerings on DVB-T Digital TV in Melbourne, Australia around 9:15pm on 9th June 2009.

This is an SD recording from a HD Set Top Box. Firstly, I scan through the TV channels, and then the 4 Radio Channels on DVB-T. Channels featured are ONE HD, TEN, ONE Digital, ABC1, ABC2, SBS1, SBS2, 7 Digital, 7 HD, Nine Digital, Nine HD, ABC DIG Radio, ABC DIG Jazz, SBS Radio 1, SBS Radio 2 (among other useless duplicate stations!) I have waited for station watermarks to appear before moving on.

C31 Melbourne is only available in Analog at present, so is not featured. However, the local Amateur TV Repeater - VK3RTV -has just run a Digital Test, and will be changing over to Digital full time soon. (See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD--ZLmTfLQ for a video)

UPDATE: There are a couple of things wrong with this video:-
1. The clock shown is wrong - as I forgot to adjust it for Standard Time from Summer Time (setting in the STB menu)
2. The SBS channel names are out of date - they have changed slighly - SBS is now SBS ONE and SBS 2 is now SBS TWO. (Sorry, should have rescanned before recording!)
3. Nine HD is missing - don't know why - it's back now! It should be on channel 90.

I will do another scan showing the updates at some stage.

You might notice that my clock is incorrect - there is a setting on the box for Daylight Saving adjustment - and I forgot to fix it! Also, I didn't do a rescan first so some of the channel names might be out of date.

can the hd channels work on old school standard tvs?

You need to buy a HD Set Top Box, and it can output the signal to a standrard tv through the video inputs. For a TV without inputs, you can get some boxes that will convert the signal into a TV signal, but these are hard to find.

There are more videos like this just search for Average Tv Day

Isn't the network supposed to update the clock time automatically when DST starts and end? DST began almost 2 weeks ag as you know, and believe it or not, it took about a week for the clock on my parents' PIECEOF SHIT Strong set top box to adjust itself, even though I completely powered down and restarted the box several times during the week.
