So based on today's date, here are the offerings, whch of course will change with time, but keep an eye out as there is always something to watch.
So lets see the Free to Air TV first:

A new version of Engine Driver for Android Phones and Tables was released last week.
The demolition of the old N Scale layout is complete and the exhibition layout is up as a temporary replacement while the new layout is being completed.
Some progress photos of the lower (DC) deck of the new permanent N Scale layout.
Well now you can see what some of the trip is like on the Ghan with SBS. Keep January 7 clear.
"The Ghan: Australia’s Greatest Train Journey" is an Australian-first foray into the ‘Slow TV’ movement. Three hours, no breaks; just the viewer, the tracks beneath, and stunning landscapes of the central Australian outback rushing past.
What is claimed to be the world's first fully solar-powered train is NOW operating on the New South Wales North Coast.
Learn how to build your very own Static Grass Applicator machine with Luke Towan of Boulder Creek Railroad fame.
There is even a really good 14 minute video showing how it is all done.
