Any news on Measat 3-a launch program?

still monitoring, now entering it into orbit. parked at 91.5E (co-located Measat 3)carry 12 Ku and 12 C transponders.

Hope that this time will improve PQ of astro...

I doubt that with this new satelite launch will improve Astro PQ.

it will, it will just take time. 1st they will add some new channel or something

I believe it is the bandwidth that is allocated to the broadcasts. They cram quite a bit of channels but there is not enough bandwidth allocation. I believe they are selling the bandwidth to more profitable purposes , ie, telecommunications, other nations broadcasters, news agencies...

lets just hope that they will upgrade the picture quality...

i believe they won't. In fact, they introduce more channel and need to pay more!

In order to improve the picture quality, Astro need to replace the current decoders.

To replace the current decoders means, either Astro absorb all the cost or charge it to customer.

They argue that there are majority of people still using CRT TVs. So if they replace the decoder, the old tv will not be compatible.

So, I think better not hope for HD from Astro for at least 3-5 years time.

Malaysia BOLEH!

To be more realistic now, upgrade your cable to improve your PQ in Astro.

Yes you're right. They put as many channel as possible in one transponder thus will cramp the bandwidth. As for Picture Quality frame (frame size 702 x 588) there's not much diffrence if you used good quality composite video cable or Monster S-Video cable.!

Currently 5 HD providers on MEasat 3 C band, but not for MAlaysian..!! Pity to all Malaysian...

Hopefully next M3A transponder will have HD transmission for MAlaysian.

In another few months, we might be saying 'hello' to HD (hope it materialise).

im oso hoping that we can get the hd in few months...about the price, its other way......they sell their services, if we like it we subscibe the hd, if dun just ask for normal...just my point...its not mean that im support the high price....but, if u able to buy the high price lcd, sure u got money to subscribe rite?nowadays, there is nothing cheap....even go to toilet oso have increase to 30cent...haha

just some information to share,

i heard from a friend that working in astro told me that HD will be launching next year in par with the world cup 2010, m3a satellite is to reserve for this purpose also...

furthermore, from a sports fan point of view, singaporeans are paying nearly 5 times for a live football event and hong kong, not to be mistaken 20 times... can be grateful we do have the service here, and on worldwide basis, still cheaper

its not cheap to own a good lifestyle...
reality is cruel

astro will start to broadcast in HD in June 2010. This is the insider information.

but astro tapau all and no one allowed to champion the satellite tv..so sad of monopoly..
