The channel changes are as follows:
If you watch digital TV through a pay TV service, you shouldn't be affected by the change. More information is available from the ABC's website.
Thanks for the tip, John!

I find this reordering of channel numbers annoying. I have found the Ten Network have changed their old channel 1, to be HD. Since I don't have HD this crashes my set top box each time. The new channel for standard digital is now 13. For me anyway. Confusing much?

Changes are also being made to Foxtel and all other digital providers.
