QUOTE(eye @ Oct 18 2009, 02:51 PM) er ... just to share .. no matter how good yr upscaler is ... if the source is bad ... the picture will be bad. if there is any consolation, astro does go fullHD once every month .... take a look at the astro's statement sent to yr home ... it is printed and presented to you in fullHD glory ...  i think their statement stil in 720p, printed on normal paper with low quality ink and bad cutting. haha

LCDs tend to have boxier figures for astro compared to Plasma's. no matter which media to play, plasma stil beat LCD a few streets. This post has been edited by carte82: Oct 23 2009, 04:01 AM |

QUOTE(tracktion3 @ Oct 23 2009, 11:26 PM) astro story can be like this when and if they release HD... he he he http://whathifi.com/News/Sky-sells-one-HD-...ery-30-seconds/not necessary lo, what if they need you to fork out another rm25 just for sports in HD? then another rm25 for HBO HD? another rm20 for learning package in HD? Another rm20 for Astro On Demand in HD. Then all of us will say: i think remain the same package since it's so expensive to upgrade. Not mentioning about the HD decoder, let's say...RM350 |

But interestingly CNN, BBC, Al-Jazeera, CNBC already in HD, it's the future trend! Everything in HD, so that we can see who hold the pepper spray in clarity and no more argument.
Just like past day, you cannot say news no need to be in colour, only dramas.

well, the plan is 2015 all analog shut down, and you hardly get SD shows coz all US series in HD, all tvb drama in HD, korean drama in HD, japanese drama in HD, even china CCTV already launched CCTV HD. RTM already prepare for HD, others FTA will soon go HD, and no more SD as we hv no more black and white broadcast.

Total digital FTA channel to be 19, including RTM and Media Prima. So there are some empty slot for new channel to be introduced.
RTM HD whenever trial run will be aired to whole Klang Valley. Thus any USB TV receiver with DVB-T will able to capture the signal, even now you can receive some trial channel in clarity and with EPG. Also some digital RTM radio channel.
