Digital TV Antenna

Digital TV is an exciting new way of delivering TV signals to your home and New Image Antennas are specialists when it comes to digital antenna installations across Melbourne.

With the introduction of Digital TV, Australians will enjoy a number of benefits including better picture and sound quality, new features and more channels. We have already seen new digital channels launched from the free to air channels such as One, Go, ABC2 & 3 and SBSTwo. You’ll also find out more about the new channels www.freeview.com.au.

The Australian government has decided that digital TV transmission is a superior technology to the existing analogue broadcast, providing a range of benefits to consumers.

Over the next few years, the current analog TV transmission will be gradually switched off, which means you will only be able to get free to air TV if you have equipment that can receive digital transmission. You can find out when your area will be switched over to digital here.

How to switch to Digital TV

There are three ways you can get digital TV.

Option 1 - Set top box: A set top box allows you to watch digital TV using your analog TV set. These can either be in Standard Definition (SD) or High Definition (HD), which are capable of providing interactive services such as TV programme guides and pausing/replaying live TV. This functions like an antenna amplifier and converts the functionality of your analog tv into digital.

Option 2 - TV with a built in digital tuner:Most TV’s on the market today have digital tuners built in, which means once they’re hooked up to your antenna, they function as an antenna amplifier and you’ll get all the digital channels.

Option 3 - Digital TV recorder: A digital TV recorder, also known as Digital Video Recorder (DVR) or Personal Video Recorder (PVR) is a recorder that can both receive and record digital TV. These can be used with either your existing analog TV or with a digital ready TV.

Melbourne Digital TV Reception

Digital TV promises to provide a range of benefits, including a clearer picture and sound. Bad digital TV reception can result in “pixilation” where your picture breaks up or no picture at all.

There are a number of factors that can affect the quality of your digital TV picture, including the strength of your signal, obstructions such as buildings and terrain, weather conditions as well as the quality of your antenna.
