Welcome to the new and exciting world of digital technology. In 1998 digital broadcasting commenced in the USA and Great Britain. Digital broadcasting started in Australia in the five major metropolitan regions on 1st January 2001 heralding a new age in television for Australians. Many Australians now enjoy digital television.

The change from analogue to digital broadcast has been compared to two other major historic developments in TV. One was the commencement of television itself and the other, the change from Black and White to Colour.

Digital signals can transmit up to four times the information as the current analogue system. This provides broadcasters with the opportunity to entertain and inform us on a number of new levels through "free to air" television.

It's here NOW! (Current total around 30 services per capital city) Broadcasters transmit the same programming on digital as is currently received on analogue. The main difference is digital provides all the additional features listed above (including HDTV) and in the future will include:

High-definition television, or HDTV. HDTV is a class of digital television, it's high-resolution digital television (DTV) combined with Dolby Digital surround sound (AC-3). HDTV is the highest DTV resolution in the new set of standards. This combination creates a stunning image with stunning sound.
