Talk:Television in Australia

message: Can someone find out the ACTUAL start date of cable tv in Aus for the section "Cable television"? "Cable television services have been available in Australia since 1991 or 1992 or something like that" is quite, well, crap.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.214.127.161 (talk) 07:55, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Cable television start date

message: The present article doesn't seem to say anything at all about cable television (CATV) in Australia. CATV originated in the USA and is also widely used in Canada and Europe. Lots of towns in the USA that don't have any broadcast TV at all have CATV systems that are fed either by satellite TV or microwave links from the big cities, or a combination of these.
Also, this article doesn't seem to say anything about Direct Broadcast Satellite TV. Is this unknown in Australia? (Due to the smallness of the population?) DBS TV is widely used in the USA, Canada, Europe, and Japan, as a minimum, but these are places with much larger populations. However, DBS satellite TV seems excellent for Australia because it covers all urban and rural areas at one fell swoop. An Australian DBS satellite could also cover New Zealand, if that service was designed into it.
Does the AUSSAT system cover rural areas of TV, albeit with larger ground antennas required than for the high power & expensive DBS satellites.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.146.43.48 (talk) 05:00, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Other means of distributing TV

message: This article is in need of immediate attention due to its high importance for WikiProject Australian television. Australian television should become an article of which summarises programming, broadcasting, news, presenters, and ratings, and which provides links to the main articles for each of these areas. Please continue discussion either below, and please contribute to the article to raise its class status. Stickeylabel 08:36, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

message: This article meets all of the GA criteria.  My only suggestion is that, if you wish to take the article further (to FA), then the lead should be expanded and a few more references added.  I wish you all the best with your editing... -- Johnfos 00:56, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Good article nomination successful

message: I think it would be a good idea to start an article dealing exclusively with dates - there are an awful lot (station openings in particular) that would be better dealt with in a seperate article. The Regional television in Australia article for instance is full of dates and callsigns for the first four of five paragraphs - this is pretty dense stuff that would be better served by something like Timeline of the BBC. timgraham 04:58, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I think that until Australia turns of the analog signal and everyone has to have digital, ABC 2 should not be listed alongside ABC 1, Seven etc. as one of the main networks; all of which are available in analog, my point being, all the other channels, if you've got a tv and an aerial, you can get them, where as ABC 2 is still sort of "second string."

message: No mention of the Super League war? I thought it might be worthwhile, particularly in the 1990s section where the introduction of pay television to Australia is mentioned.--Jeff79 (talk) 16:08, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Homicide title.jpg

message: This article seems HEAVILY focussed on the history. It's got the present in there too, but way too much of the past from what I can see. The entire opening needs to be changed IMO. Look at the beginning of the broadcasting section giving an overview of 3 commercial networks & 2 government networks nationwide.. that kind of thing seems more prevalent. Also look at how the programming section focuses on past series rather than current Australian series. What do others think? Greg (talk) 04:10, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm working on expanding this article and adding inline citations as I feel it's seriously lacking in content in many areas. I'd appreciate any comments. I've made several additions to the "Origins" section over the last few days with appropriate citations.
