Topic: Disruption to SBS Digital Television Broadcast Services

Date: 28 June 2019

From 1 July 2019, there will be changes on the SBS digital television channels due to the introduction of a new SBS channel - SBS MOVIES. SBS is preparing for those changes and has removed one SBS channel already.

It is anticipated that there will be minor and intermittent disruptions to the SBS digital television broadcast services to the Indian Ocean Territories for the forthcoming week.

Thank you for your understanding and patience whilst these changes are being implemented.
