| 806474 | 2009-09-03 00:38:00 | Interesting - Just got a letter from Telstra. As of the 1st October - no more analogue TV - They are switching over to Digital - while the old analogue decoders will still work for a while, they wont be able to pick up some current programs. Normally $99 - currently free to change over to Digital. Wonder how many older TV's will spit the dummy as well. |

Is this because the old tv's didn't have the composite connections? I can't see how changing the decoder would affect a telly, and the signla out of it is still either RF or composite (both analogue) |

| 806478 | 2009-09-03 02:10:00 | Several times I've seen it happen, each time the People had already brought a new TV - I was told it was because the Old TV didn't work with the New Sky Digital (words to that effect) -- That's all I was told - no other reasons give - none of my business, so I cant honestly say why. | wainuitech (129) | ||
