Same here, Melbourne.

On my first attempts, I couldn't even tune to any of the HDTV channels
except SBS.

On my latest attempts, the picture looks perfect (at first glance),
but audio is... errr... unusable. I have only tried ABC recently.

mplayer doesn't seem to support the resolution, at least not my
version (or do I need to pass it some more parameters?).

I am not sure how well this HDTV stuff is going to combine with
MythTV, as they only appear to broadcast selected TV shows (I think).
