PBS "Newshour" (also seen on VOA Worldnet) -- conversion to full HD is next
monday... Nice miniture documentry on their converion process in this
Friday's transmission...

Places I least expected to see this programme
-- Southland TV (Invercargill, NZ)
-- Taranaki TV (New Plymouth, NZ) + Nightly Buissness Report
-- SBS NET Australia (Nationwide)

Points that were totally neglected:
ASTC-E, the error correction fix for ASTC; PBS will clearly be helped by
this
ABC, SBS's Digital converion (as a comparason) -- many newscasts in
Widescreen

A few notes on SBS for readers not familiar with it, although
possibly of more interest to readers of rec.travel.australia+NZ,
misc.immigration.australia+nz.

A good start for info on the web is:

http://www.abc.net.au/rn/mission.htm

It is one of the largest public broadcasting networks
in Australia, is available on free to air broadcast T.V.
and radio in most areas of australia. Provides a lot of
programs to the short wave service of Radio Australia.

A wide range of interesting programs, documentaries,
etc. Also broadcasts over various A.M. & F.M. frequencies,
providing pretty good coverage all around the country.

Home page on the net is
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/

Page gives links to more info, but if want to
go direct to AM/FM radio stations by state directly

http://www.abc.net.au/rn/freq/

1] You do not love Australia as much as you attempt to make out you

2] You just love that U.S. passport too much to exchange it for an
Australian one;
3] You want to continue voting in the U.S. elections [hence your off-
topic/non-relevant posts re the upcoming
U.S. elections;
4] You want to collect U.S. Social Security.

If you truly loved Australia, you would have a very long time ago,
undertaken the necessary steps and become
an Australian citizen. No if, no buts, no excuses.

BTW, there is absolutely no need for you to insert this posting into
my previous posting.

Too bad it's a step BACKWARD here in the Boston Area.
WGBH broadcasts Newshour on its 480i SD Channel 2.1.
Channel 2.2 is HD and gets the PBS HD feed.
The program is letterboxed between two vertical bars.
In the old SD format at least I could fill the screen
albeit creating fat talking heads.
