Petitions

Digital Television

To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives

This petition of Residents and Citizens of Miriam Vale and District, Queensland

Draws to the attention of the House:

The unsatisfactory position with regard to the changeover from analogue TV to Digital TV. The Community has a high number of Retired Residents, who are unable to sustain the cost of Transition.

We therefore ask the House to:

Ensure that the Miriam Vale Community has access, Free of charge, to Quality Digital TV and to Ensure the services provided are local and not relayed from a satellite service.

The Community wishes to access its TV Signal via Terrestrial means via a Ground based Transmitter.
