Well,
I emailed auroratv.org with questions as follows, doubt I'll get a reply.;

Are you connected with Optus Aurora?
By running off the same satellite via Foxtel, do you anticipate some
confusion, and how will you overcome that?
Are you backed by or a subsidiary of Foxtel or Newscorp? If so, isn't it a
bit like when you jumped on the digital tv bandwagon, and called your new
encryption system "digital" television, where it confused people, and played
on an
already established name, term, or monicker?

They did that because "digital" is a long established term connected to
higher fidelity images and sound (even if in practice the situation is often
different). CDs started the trend back in 1982. Foxtel was copying Sky UK
more than the terrestrial DTV industry.

Note that Austar has been broadcasting digital pay TV for years, and FTA sat
digital TV was around before that.

Who cares? What will you do with the answers if they reply?
