Why is the government turning off analog signals?
Analog signals are costly and inefficient to transmit. This is because they have a larger broadcast spectrum. By turning off analog signals, more broadcast spectrum will be freed up, allowing more products to utilize the available spectrum.
Is this Digital Switchover process only happening in Australia?
No, the Digital Switchover process is occurring all over the world, and so digital technology is being adopted to remain up-to-date with global technological advances. Another reason for the switchover is that digital technology is replacing its older analog counterpart. The equipment used to produce TV programs and broadcast that is produced globally is only compatible with digital television, and thus TV programs will only be produced in the digital formats.
In Australia, the Digital Switchover process is due to be completed by December 31st 2013. However, the process begins in early 2010, so be sure that you’re prepared for the switchover process.
We are hoping that you will be able to see the benefit in switching over to Digital TV, in either High Definition TV or SD Television. However, we understand that it is a hassle to have to change your equipment over for new technology. If you need any assistance we suggest you visit your local electrical retailer, and ask them all the questions you have about the Digital Switchover process.
