Over 100 channels set for digital TV

<SNIP>

.....Foxtel plans to begin the service in the first half of next year,
increasing the number of pay TV channels it offers from 47 to more than 100.

Foxtel will reveal the launch date for its digital service, and the new
channels, early in 2004.

However, it has confirmed it will offer a range of interactive services,
including one that would allow viewers to select a movie and watch it
shortly afterwards. Likened to having a personal video and DVD library in
your lounge room, it will enable viewers to select new releases.

Foxtel will also offer interactive news and sports services. Sports Active
will enable people to choose camera angles, view player and competition
statistics and watch highlights.

Sky News Active will give a choice of eight local news screens, including
specific finance news and sports broadcasts.

Foxtel does not intend to offer its own interactive gambling or betting
services.

It has yet to determine the price it will charge for its new digital
services. However, the entry level charge will be the same as that for its
satellite service, currently $47.95 a month....

<SNIP>

......There will be room for up to 24 competing pay TV services on Foxtel's
new digital network.

Seven Network, which axed its fledgling C7 pay TV sports channel last year,
is the best-known media company likely to introduce a pay TV service on the
Foxtel network.

The rate Foxtel charges companies for access to its network will be
regularly independently audited.

On cable TV they have a weather channel - 24 hours of weather. We had
something like that where I grew up. We called it a window.
