Don’t look to far into that, they are just covering themselves because there have been new regional stations popping up all the time, Mildura Digital Television being probably the newest station, which came last year IIRC.

My set top box is a digital TV reciever and a hard drive recorder. <br/><br/>So, if you HAVE to buy a set top box for ABC2 / TEN HD, I strongly suggest trying for a hard drive recorder included.
