What channels will be used for digital television and datacasting in particular areas?
When the Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA) has finalised their digital television channels plans, Digital Broadcasting Australia will publish the channels made available in each area of Australia on the DBA web site. The ABA has a planning objective for all digital free-to-air television services to be in the same frequency band as the current analog services in each area of Australia. So wherever possible, if an analog channel is currently in the VHF band then so will the equivalent digital channel. The following is an example of the Sydney Television Channel Plan for main transmitters.
