Australian digital broadcast

Catch the
next wave.

Digital TV and Digital Radio are more efficient, higher quality, and carry more features than the analogue services they replaced. NextWave Digital builds the receivers that bring both into your home.

Analogue switch-off

Digital TV

The analogue transmission switch-off commenced in Australia in 2010 and continued until the end of 2013, when digital-only television signals became the only signal remaining. With more than 82% of Australian households having converted at least their main television set to digital — via an integrated digital television or a digital set-top box — the move to digital was well underway. If you haven't made the switch already, join the majority of Australians and catch the next wave in digital television.

Digital Radio

Currently available in every mainland capital, digital radio offers listeners fantastic sound that's superior to traditional AM and FM, clear and interference-free reception, and more channels. Easy tuning means there's no need to remember a frequency — you tune by station name. On-screen text adds artist and song information, weather and news updates, and more, alongside pause and rewind. There's no subscription cost: all you need is a DAB+ digital radio.
