Australian TV is at an end of an era. With Internet movies and channels being available more and more students prefer to go online. This trend isn't such a great idea as we explain.
Watching free TV is better for you and the media. It supports local talent and you learn lots.
The free TV hasn't got a lot of International channels with the exception of the SBS which is mainly about the world. But you can learn lots about Australian culture so that you can be at ease with making local Australian friends.
Foxtel on the other hand is pay TV and that has more channels. Students simply cannot afford the luxury.
Then there is the issue of piracy. A lot of things are free to watch on Youtube but most things comes at a consequence. Myself and Sally don't watch much Youtube as it is illegally pirated. We prefer the Australian tv where it is free and we can learn the language. Sally's English has improved so much ever since she decided to watch the free tv. The free tv has a lot of American programs as well as the Wimbledon (English tennis championships).
Sally "I came to Australia to study and to learn the culture. So I may as well make use of the free tv in the house".
"I love x-factor and the Australian drama shows as I can learn so much and adapt to the culture easily. I feel so much more at ease when I'm in Australia"
" I often watch tv in the living room and interact with the other mates"
" When I go back to China everything is different".
Students do try and watch the free TV as you can learn a lot about Australian culture from it. Also try and watch some Amercian TV programs in your home country before you come here as it may make life easier for you.
