Territory And Municipal Services are warning that residents of the southern suburbs of Conder and Banks are going to be losing analog TV a little earlier than the rest of us.

Analog TV services that are transmitted from the self-help site at the Water Tank at Orange Thorn Crescent in Banks will be switched off early to make way for digital TV services. The new digital-only TV service will be available in December 2011.

Residents should get ready for the switch to digital now.

To find out more on the early switch to digital TV in the Conder area, visit the Digital Switchover Taskforce at the Lanyon Marketplace on Thursday 1 December 2011 between 12 pm and 6.30 pm.

Better get your set top box if you haven’t already.

Bugger, I will have to get a set top box for the shed now…………

Actually probably the wealthy and non TV watchers still have analogue. The poor and cashed up bogans bought a digital TV with their baby bonuses a long time ago. Although they will now have to be 2″ smaller because of the cut.

I fixed that for you.

Is anyone still watching analogue?

It’s also interesting to note that Conder and Banks apparently don’t have digital TV available yet, and that an Australian government have decided to use the American spelling for analogue… or is this just a case of this is the most literate person we could get to write copy for the website?

thatsnotme said :

I don’t really care about the TV stuff from this, I’m just really curious about what the ‘self-help site at the Water Tank at Orange Thorn Crescent’ is all about?

Some watery guru who dispenses advice about how to live a better, more fulfilling life? Or is it just a tap?

Oh I like that much better than the real explanation!
