Analogue Television / Signal

the main driver for getting rid of analog TV was for govts to create a windfall of one-time revenue as they auction off the spectrum to private enterprise. so, no, it's not yours to play with.

any source on the one time revenue thing? I cant find anything on it, or was it american?

think previous anon was prob. thinking more of mobile phone frequencies. These were definitely auctioned.

Some of the old TV frequencies are used for DAB radio, but otherwise, in principle, you right enough, lot of previous analogue TV broadcast frequencies are unused - Bongoland, you can actually use these (license free) if device automatically avoids intereference with existing users, or you can apply for a manually configured license. MS and all sorts of people were doing WiFi trials in this space, dunno how that ended. aka white spaces, see:

That just UK tho, who strangely I think are the only country who allow 'free' (or at least non-licensed) usage (its not like them) - AUS, heard they are pretty harsh with pirate radio and stuff, using a frequency for whatever would be exactly same principle, stress if busted. And 'unmonitored' is fucking nothing.

They all got re-purposed from memory
https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2004H03679

We dropped VHF low band. Ch 3 and 4 fell in the FM broadcast radio band anyhow. VHF high band is fairly full in capital cities.
Ch6 Seven network
Ch7 SBS
Ch8 Nine network
Ch9C DAB+ Digital radio
Ch11 Ten network
Ch12 ABC

The UHF band has been crammed together to produce the "digital dividend" which was sold off for 4G services.

Yes there are blank channels and you can use them for specific purposes provided you comply with the regulations.
