Why is NITV and Ten HD here? Both are FTA channels, and lots of other such exist and aren't in the list. matturn 10:23, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Because in many markets the only practical way for mainstream viewers to receive NITV, Ten etc without incurring major costs or inconvenience is via a subscription TV provider. The FTA channels are therefore not 'free' in those markets. Example: NITV cannot be received in city apartment blocks (where the strata corporation usually bans FTA satellite dishes on the roof) unless the viewer has Foxtel. Turning the argument around, TVSN is FTA but the only practical, minimal marginal cost way to receive it is via a subscription service. Poster not logged in 16:06, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Documentary Channels

Why why was Discovery Travel & Living removed? Also there is no "Science Channel" in Australia, it's called "Discovery Science". Reubot (talk) 12:30, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Oversight the first mistake and the second probably because the Asia Pacific link for Discovery Science goes to 'The Science Channel' which its called in the states. Issues fixed. - Mike Beckham (talk) 12:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NITV is available on Foxtel
