With the final regions in Sydney, Australia adapting the digital switch-over on December 3rd of this year, nearly 104,000 households in Sydney still have not made the total switch to digital TV. However 94% of the households have already adapted to the change, according to the government.
Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull urged citizens to make the switch within the next three weeks in order to avoid cable TV blackout. He said, “To watch free-to-air television after this date, you need to be digital ready. Already, over 94 per cent of households have converted to digital TV since it became available across Sydney in 2001. If you haven’t yet switched from analog to digital TV, please don’t put it off any longer.”
There are a total of 1,738,200 television households in Sydney. In order to make the digital switch, the citizens would have to install an STB in place. Apart from Sydney, the neighbouring areas like Gosford, Katoomba and Picton will also be switching to digital signals starting 9am on December 3rd.
