The next big thing in digital free-to-air TV will be coming in a few months with the introduction of high definition TV channels by both Channel 7 and Ten.
If you don't already know, the analog TV (current one) will be switched off by the government sometime between 2010 and 2012. So if you have an old TV, you won't be able to watch anything unless you get a set-top box (or buy a new TV with an in-built digital tuner)
The channels are being planned to be released on December. Currently if you have a digital TV, you will get a few extra channels, ABC 2 and SBS News are the main ones. There is also digital radio broadcast from SBS and ABC. On top of that, you will also have the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) for all the commercial channel (7, 9 and Ten). This vary with regions, so to check which channels are available to you, click here.
The content of the new channels are still vague at the moment so I guess we will need to wait a little bit more. The channel from Ten will be called TEN HD.
