They already have DTT over there, but there are strict rules and the only channels allowed are those owned by the terrestrial networks (so here it would be ITV1, ITV2 and ITV News etc).
They have two copies of all the terrestrial networks - a HDTV one and a 16:9 version.
About time too. Sky News Australia Active, should be interesting...as is Fox Sports Active. I hope that the channels still have 'preview' weeks where you get access to channels for a week in order to persuade. Anyhow the line-up is good - much more channels than Foxtel analogue. I'll ask my friend in oz to get caps when it launches.
How can Sky News Australia be interactive on Cable but not in the UK? You even get to see Sky News UK from Oz. I wish we could watch Sky News Aus in UK.
And the EPG as posted above looks identical to SKy...apart from the 'Adult' section bit...
I never knew you could get Eurosport News down in Oz! Though it seems to me that VH1 seems to be rather new. Plus isn't UK-TV the channel which shows tons of BBC and ITV?

I don't think Eurosportnews has been available in Australia up to now. So it will premiere on FOXTEL Digital.
UK.TV shows Eastenders and Corrie, though I think they brand it as Australian Premiere, there is a two-three year delay.
EuroSport News is new, or it might be on FoxTel Satellite.
Interesting that BBC World is part of the lineup. Perhaps someone can tell Fox News that BBC World is happily sitting on a Fox platform
BBC World has been part of the FOXTEL analogue line up, so nothing new. News Corp is a minority shareholder in FOXTEL - 25%. Majority shareholder is TELSTRA (50%) which is still controlled by the Australian Government. Of couse you have BBC channel on Sky Digital in which News Corp has a higher stake.

I'm not sure who owns UK-TV, though I assume we'd be wrong to confuse it with the Uk's UKtv brand. Many of the programmes are of BBC origin (the line up has more than a passing similarity to UK Gold), though I believe they are required to show a certain quota (25%?) of 'home-grown' material, hence vintage Aussie serials like Sons and Daughters have been repeated on UK-TV. They also are the only station in Australia to show the NZ soap Shortland Street. Family Affairs, EastEnders, and Corrie are shown at a rate of five episodes a week - Corrie is actually just under two years behind the UK, though I'm not sure how far behind they are with the other UK soaps.
