Sorry Jessica, but what has Foxtel satellite/cable have to do with digital
tv......try the aus.tv.pay newsgroup instead.

Everything I would think. Jessica was talking about "Foxtel digital".

Jessica - you mentioned 6 free to air channels.

Would the sixth be SBS's second channel?

It's a pity Foxtel couldn't re-broadcast the community 31 channels on
digital. Melbourne's analog signal is very wonky.

I believe this newsgroup is about _all_ forms of digital tv in Aus, not just
digital free-to-air. Hence it is relevant.

High definition on cable ... please! Maybe bandwidth is too much of a
constraint but it would save good customers having two set-top boxes. Foxtel
could charge extra and it will compete better with rental video if HD movies
are available.
