Changes

I've moved some tings around and added a history section to this article - what I'm wondering is, whether something like this should go in the technical section (which needs expanding):

LCN	Channel Name

Great work on the article Tim :). With regards to the table above, I do not think it belongs in the article as Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. A link could be provided to an external website that contains the LCN channel-lineup, however I do not think it should be placed on the article. As a compromise, a table containing information on what channel numbers "6-699" are used for, etc, would possibly add encylopedic worth to the article.Stickeylabel 11:56, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have now implemented my idea here: Digital television in Australia#Technical. I hope to hear your thoughts. Thanks. Stickeylabel 12:06, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The idea was based on what was in the UK equivalent to the article had. What you've done looks good. timgraham 13:34, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :). I have now added a To Do template at the top of this page, so we are able to see what is needed in order to bring the article to a GA standard. Please modify and add anything I have missed. Stickeylabel 06:55, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's only so much you can add, though - I have a book on the ABC which has a few mentions of ABC2 so I'll see what I can do.. timgraham 08:53, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's true Tim, there is not too much more that can be added. However, the multi-view section could be expanded, as I have only added bare information, and I will try to expand it soon. Also, I will try and research information for the Technical section, with regards to changes in broadcast parameters. Stickeylabel 09:11, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to add to your to-do list subscription and community TV - I'll expand on that soonish but I do know that the old pay TV service Galaxy was the first to use digital. Then there's the whole issue of Channel A and Channel B, and digital community TV. timgraham 11:51, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good points about Channel A and Channel B, as well as community TV. In my opinion, it would be best to focus the article on terrestial free-to-air, as adding subscription will confuse and complicate the article with regards to history, technical standards and content. However, I will add Channel A and Channel B, as well as community TV to the to-do list. Stickeylabel 12:15, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
