What if I currently receive analog television via a self-help retransmission service?
Self-help retransmission services have been installed by local councils and community groups as a means of obtaining better television reception in some areas. Currently, legislation relating to the conversion of television services to digital extends to services provided by commercial or national broadcasters and does not include self help retransmission services. The Australian Government is currently considering a number of options in relation to providing digital coverage for those areas currently served by analog self-help retransmission services. As digital switchover progresses, it is likely that announcements will be made both in terms of general policy and with regard to specific local areas.
