.....We believe that enabling a free, unencumbered and open EPG must
be a condition of being granted a FTA broadcast license in Australia.
The licensing authorities must be made aware that by not having
control over which recording device we can use, or having to face no
EPG at all if we do not choose the proprietary format machines, the
Australian viewing public are being subjected to a highly restricted
and commercially controlled digital viewing environment which
ultimately, can only slow down consumer acceptance of digital
television and therefore the overall growth of the medium in this
country.
