The 2RPH Sydney and 3RPH Melbourne were available free to air (no smartcard required) on the [[Optus Aurora]] radio platform via [[Optus C1]] before the switch over to the more restrictive [[Viewer Access Satellite Television|VAST]] platform.  Now only the [[3RPH]] Melbourne service is the only [[Radio Print Handicapped Network|RPH]] service available free-to-air on [[Optus C1]].
