Maybe its just my uninformed 21-year-uni-graduate perspective on it, but the whole digital television thing in Australia doesn’t seem to be taking off.
The UK seems to know what its doing, and I know there’s legislation in Australia that prevents certain programming and multichanneling, but I think the only way people are going to migrate to digital TV is if there is more content on more channels, I have a HD television, and as nice as the picture is on the news, I’d rather have an ABC3 or a TenTwo.
Three of my closest loved ones have had set top boxes forced on them as “presents”, and after the initial “gee… thanks John”, I like to think they’re actually using them, for example my chicken pox laden four year old niece, whose father won’t get Foxtel got to watch ABC Kids on two channels today, with children’s programming stretching from 4.30am to 3pm across ABC and ABC2.
This video is an ad for the UK’s digital television push, the character ‘Digit Al’ is voiced by Matt Lucas and the ads have been “interrupting” normal television across the UK since the 5th of May.

The opening for last nights BBC News at 6pm and 10pm. The sets are excellent, and much better than anything we have in Australia.

This is another of the BBC brand promos, the first one was about the liberation of Kabul, the second one was about Ricky Gervais and this one is about a BBC cameraman in Iraq.
In related news, MySpace has attacked the BBC for their plans and now the ABC is asking your opinion about their own news site.

Speaking of the BBC, a lot seems to be happening at the moment, including a proposal to introduce advertising on its international news site, the launch of a competition to redesign its homepage and the MySpacing of the whole beeb… Web 2.0 meets public broadcaster, cool.

This is one of the new BBC brand videos. Its designed to not promote one specific BBC venture, but instead the whole corporation.
This is the one about the liberation of Kabul.
