Yup,i'm sure some forumers here oledi watched that too I watched it in 1080i,but i suppose u can switch it to 720p,which i oways did when watched BDs,as my LCD is not FullHD.

No update about the code yet

yes HD at last but at what price

my family have been paying 150 a month for the current astro, anything more than that for hd is outrageous!

sure u are the technical people...hehe!!!!

No,i'm not,i just prefer to watch my BDs at 720p,same as with my projector(cos HD only)

from the rumour,the HD channels,about 10 channels,should be arround RM20 +,consider u oledi hv sport,movie or learning's channels in ur current package

astro need this to convert all their SD channel to HD

sometimes our eye cant differentiate between 1080 and 720. but 720p is good already.. as I'm already enjoyed at 1080i long time ago.

some sample capture form Truevision (1920x1080) and Luxtv HD. (1250x1080)

my friend working in Astro told me:

Launch date: 18/12
Monthly fee: RM20 on top of monthly subscription
Installation of satelite and box: FOC
Channel going HD: astro supersports, national geographic, ESPN, HBO, History
New features:
1. Cinematic Sound (Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound)
HDTV has the capability to deliver high quality audio via Dolby® Digital 5.1 surround sound.
Properly decoded, each audio track can be isolated to individual speakers around your TV
viewing area to recreate the multi-dimensional audio experience you get in the cinema, right
in your living room.

2. What is Astro B.yond?
Astro B.yond is the future of entertainment. It is a brand new offering in television broadcast
which offers the first ever High-Definition broadcast in Malaysia. For a start, five exclusive high
definition channels will be introduced at the time of launch, with more to come in the future.
With Astro B.yond, employees will be able to enjoy true high definition details such as with
superior resolution, sound and clarity. Astro B.yond will have future interactive features like
Personal Video Recording (PVR), new Electronic Programming Guide (EPG) and internet
connectivity.

Let's see!

This is great considering I just bought a new HDTV. Hopefully the new machine is more reliable than my astro max...

I'm still pissed off that they replaced BBCE with some bio channel! WHY DID THEY BLOODY DO THAT? BBCE was one of the best channels available. i guess I'll have to go back to the iPlayer

Are u sure that monthly charge just RM20?? And FOC for installation of dish and new decoder?? And how much is the price for the decoder and satellite dish?? I think, surely 1k+

As far Astro is concern giving the Boxes free is an investment, surely we will subscribe and that wld cost at least RM100 per month right !

measat 3a right now at 91.54°, this satellite seems very active, moving around like rabbit

hahaha,no offend but u remind me an advertisement ( proton service? ) after the service center done all the job and tell the lady " it's FREE " ,the lady answered : " so expensive ? "

the news is "almost" true but not 100% confirm yet.The RM20 is an extra RM20 on top of ur normal subscription package.Also,u must have a Sport Package now in order to enjoy the ESPN-HD.Same as HBO-HD,u must have movie package now to enjoy the HBO-HD

Also,like mentioned,the decorder might be free but u might need to pay normal installation fee ( sure < RM1k,hehe ).

ohh... ic...ic...
good explaination.... already understand it....
so, if now my monthly subscription was RM84.95 (Movies+family+learning+fun).., i just need to add some RM20 more.. so total subscription fees every months is RM104.95.. isn't it?
is that free decoder only just for limited subscribers ... fo example, just for the first 1000 subscribers...?
sorry for so many questions here...
