Last week, SBS upgraded its digital transmitters around the country. The practical consequence? The station can now differentiate its broadcasts for different regional areas, offers full 720p resolution on its HD channel and now has a seven-day EPG. The downside? You might need to retune your set-top box, digital TV or PVR/media centre software to match the new requirements. If your equipment gives you grief in this respect, the SBS how-to linked below has contact details for most TV manufacturers.

What I'm Doing About My 'My Health' Record
The government's My Health Record (MHR) system promises to bring together a bunch of different healthcare data so that a trip to the hospital or doctor won't require lots of information being recorded over and over again.
It should reduce some costs as healthcare providers can access pathology and other analyses without repeating tests and will simplify how we deal with some agencies. But it's also being implemented in a pretty ham-fisted way, with everyone's consent assumed unless they opt out. I've been looking at the system. Here's what I'll be doing.

umm what link????
And the SBS link is where, or do I need to retune my browser..? :p
I see no link to an SBS how-to??
Linked below? Where?
Apologies everyone -- HTML stuffup with the link. Should be fixed now.
Full 720p? Only? I wish we had more 1080i/p content, but then again, given the tiny bitrates they encode it at (and sucky mpeg2 codec) I suppose that it wouldn't really be that much better quality...
