    With the digital switchover from analogue to digital TV, all locations in Australia will no longer have Free to Air TV operating in their locations unless they have made the switch to digital TV infrastructure.
    More channels will now become available to remote locations and the opportunity exists to plan a coordinated strategy to install one cost effective solution. In conjunction with the digital switchover is the release of the next generation of MATV & SMATV equipment that brings the ability to reduce maintenance and faults to a negligible level.
The Digital Switchover started in 2010 and will conclude in December 2013.
   
This Means:
  
  • FTA satellite service changing from Optus Aurora to VAST
  • PAY TV services migrating from Analogue modulation to Digital modulation or full service IQ1 or IQ2 STU installations
  • Some remote sites no longer eligible for FTA satellite services while some sites which previously received Terrestrial FTA will now need to receive FTA via Satellite
MARCOMM has an intorductory proposal available for the MATV system including an explanation of the switchover procedure, the time frames and the solutions to lowering costly site visits and down time for MATV systems. MARCOMM Digital Switchover Proposal
