    I am guessing its signal quality and how many times it drops across various locals in australia. There are certainly better channels where i am that don't drop a few times a day. Unfortunately i am out of the area they want, as i am in armidale, but thats ok.

    Hi Psychobunny,
    We would require 30 days notice to end the contract to allow us time to arrange another host, install equipment etc. If you are moving in the same locations we could potentially arrange for it to be added to the new house. Ideally we are looking for homeowners who won't be moving in the near future. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
    Thank you,
    Aimee

    We are probably considered Melbourne, although we are out in Kilsyth (3137). There is an antenna point in my rack as I used to have a tv tuner box out there before it died. It’s been forever since we actually watched FTA tv so I couldn’t tell you if we get any regional covered, but easy enough to plug in a TV to see what actually comes through.

    Our reality is watching through their streaming service on the very rare occasion we need or want to watch FTA.

    Hey, if FTTN becomes available I’d be interested in Adelaide.

    Is there any other option for a possible benefit to be obtained? e.g., being able to stream FTA TV through the box.

    I also already pay for gigabit so having a free 100 meg service is not interesting to me.
