Continuing our look into the move to digital
A few weeks ago news came that Western Australia is leading the way in the uptake of digital television, we've been the leaders in buying up big screen televisions that allow us into the world of ABC2 and ONE.
In the US as they approached the 'turn off' date for the analogue signal it was highlighted that in the move to digital some people would be left behind especially those people who could not afford a new television and those additional television we have around the house. As they prepared to turn off the analogue signals on Friday there were still almost three million households were unprepared for the change over.
The average Australian household has between two and three televisions, so what happens when the second one is no longer working. It's a concern for childrens television and late night programming especially. Could these markets lose their entire audience when the analogue signal is turned off.
Well no need to worry, looking and the US situation again, now that the annalogue signal is n longer transmitting, the stores apparently are filled with smaller digital ready sets, perfect for the study, the porch, the kids room and the bedroom.
