This is a list of
the current channels available on digital
terrestrial television in Australia.
The commercial
channels available to viewers depend on location and
station ownership. The process of aggregation during
the late 80s to mid 90s saw regional stations take
on affiliations with metropolitan channels for
programming, a practice that has continued into
digital television with affiliated stations carrying
various multichannels from their metropolitan
counterparts.
Metropolitan in this
list therefore refers to the capitals of Melbourne,
Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, where stations
are owned and operated by
the network rather than affiliates.
In areas not covered
by terrestrial transmissions, the digital channels
are provided by the free-to-view VAST satellite
platform. The television channels on this platform
are all encoded in H.264 and
subject to a MPEG-LA controlled transmission patent
licensing tax which is
included in the VAST broadcaster cost and varies on
viewership figures. The terrestrial transmissions
still use H.262,
which doesn't incur any additional transmission
costs, but select channels are broadcast
terrestrially in H.264.
