The switchover from analog to digital TV continues across Australia, with regional Queensland next on the list to make the switch on December 6.
For many this will just mean connecting a digital set-top box to their existing TV which is easily done at little cost and for the vision impaired there’s also now the option of a talking set-top-box.
The first digital tv set top box to use text-to-speech technology was recently released and has been designed with assistance from Vision Australia, with talking main menus, installation & help screens among the features.
If you’d like to know more about the switch to digital TV in your area or eligability for the household assistance scheme visit digitalready.gov.au plus you can find the talking set-top-box at http://www.bushaustralia.com.au
