GO!, ABC2 and 7TWO are already pulling bigger crowds than Pay TV. Read more: http://www.tv.com/story/19428.html
Are you watching more and more shows on digital channels?

Looking at the article, it doesn't really say much.

The main difference between Pay TV and FTA is that FTA has a limited selection and tries to aim at providing programming that lots of people want to watch. On the other hand, pay TV tries to cater towards specific tastes, and rather than putting on mainstream shows, you've got networks devoted entirely towards genres which would otherwise be considered niche markets. I don't think the two are directly comparable in the way that was done in the article because pay TV is designed to get people to watch heaps of different channels, while free to air is designed to get heaps of people watching the same channel.

yes because pay tv's quality is not worth the price they are asking
