NEWSPORT DAILY-TV blackspots continue to plague Daintree - Newsport

“The total capital cost is $400,000 with an addition $80,000 per year in operational costs. The loss of ABC and SBS since 2017 and the unreliability of the service has prompted many residents to switch to other service providers. It is estimated less than 27 households across all three locations, still rely upon these two towers,” according to Council minutes.

The recommendations, which were not resolved, were:

• Not renew transmission equipment at the Alexandra Bay and Daintree Village Television Black Spot Towers;
• Continue maintenance of the existing equipment at the Alexandra Bay and Daintree Village Black Spot towers until equipment becomes irreparable, at which time the service will be discontinued;
• Advise Cow Bay, Diwan and Daintree Village residents that transmissions from the black spot television tower sites can no longer be guaranteed.

Meanwhile, a survey was sent to 169 Diwan and Cow Bay households in August 2019, asking people whether they relied on the free-to-air broadcast signal, or whether they had either switched to another service or did not have a television.
