TV for remote Australia

Due to the practical issues of affordably transmitting and receiving television signals across large sparsely populated areas, many Australians living in remote areas have not had access to the level of television programming that most of the Australian population receive.

Recently, a new deal between Macquarie Southern Cross Media and Imparja to provide a digital free-to-air satellite TV service to remote areas in the central and eastern states. The Federal Government is reportedly offering $400 grants for eligible people to purchase digital set-top receivers and roof-top satellite dishes.
