Community Television

Probably not if the apps aren’t on there in the first place.

Anyone can add their own channel.

Yes but will the networks bother putting active development into a platform that’s only found on a few of the low end models of a budget brand?
I think the only other brand with Roku was TCL, and around the time Telstra TV shut down they moved those models to Google TV. Roku set top boxes were never a thing here outside of Telstra.

I just sent a comment to C31 and they have confirmed mid-November for the CTV+ app on smart TV (Google TV, Tizen, Apple TV). They are currently testing the app.

CTV+ now on Google Playstore for smart TV devices. Thought they would have had ICTV alongside 31 and 44 live streams?

What is ICTV?

Indigenous Community Television. It comes out of Alice Springs. ICTV

Assuming they’re not part of 44 and 31 contributing towards the costs and project

ICTV mustn’t be part of the community Tv alliance http://www.communitytv.net.au

isn’t ICTV part of Imparja?

ICTV went independent from Imparja in 2020 IIRC. Will try and find the post.

Would CTV+ ever upload Rove McManus 1997-98 Community TV Show or is it on YouTube?

The night also marked a historic moment for the sector with the official Smart TV launch of CTV+, community television’s national streaming platform—now available on Google TV and Apple TV, with Samsung TVs (Tizen OS) to follow within weeks

Welcome to the mid-2010’s! :laughing:

It’s disappointing that community TV has been frequently shafted and left behind, but great news that the government has finally given them the extra support they’ve needed to make that leap.

Now what is to stop stations that went off the air to come back to life on-line only through CTV+? Thinking Brisbane and Perth.

Why?

Probably a lack of a reason? Just upload your thing to YouTube nowadays.

Thinking linear TV stream. Not individual program uploads. By default, both existing linear streams will now have a national footprint now. But nothing beats locally produced content from your location as something to have on as a regular programmed TV linear stream.

What Shows do People like on Channel 31 and Community TV?

How do you watch Ch 31?
