Someone posted that Astro is looking for tester for HD, right? So, it shouldn't be that far away. Hope so.

Interesting read. Well, it is almost middle of the year now and still no sign of the new DVR.

There is a setting in Astro to change the ratio but I guess there is no effect at all.

The next Astromax replacement decoder is rumoured to have component output.

Astro's CFO said yesterday that they plan to roll out HD service in Sept 2009, with main drivers to be sports and movies. He said they already have the decoder box but haven't decided on the pricing model yet. Likely they may give some kind of offer or priority for long-time/high-value Astro customers. Apparently the cost of the HD decoder box is actually lower than that of the SD decoder box.

Good news. I hope I am in that customer bracket. I have 4 decoders under my name biggrin.gif

The post a few page back said  the code is use for astro personnel to check whether the package subscribed by restaurant (or any place provide viewing for public) is special package or just normal home package.

If to detect other boxes, no need to show to end user la..

I thought when Astro is for commercial like restaurant or hotel, there will be a small box on the left of the screen.

RM20 for 5 HD channels, I would say worth.
It's time to cut out all the others channels.

How many can actually have all the HD channels? Like me, I don't subcribe to movie package. So can only enjoy 4 HD channels. And will they increase the fees once they have more HD channels?
