btw - heard the new decoders all got component out...can existing subscribers with the old decoder request for change to this new decoder?

component colour better maah...better than s-video... (well, hopefully)

cool...exisitng subcribers how to get this? cancel subscription and re-register? that's a lot of work

actually there's an ongoing debate about 720p and 1080i...

from what i've gathered...for HD, progressive is always the better mode than interlaced, and 720p is probably a bit better than 1080i...but to some extend depending on the frame rates and other technical details as well

check this one out...720p vs 1080i - a simple video on the difference of quality

and even in the US, these are the common resolutions for HD...so don't ask for 1080p...it's too much of a bandwidth, technical data issue to tx at this resolution.

so just be happy for whatever Astro's providing soon...as least now we can fully utilize our near-HD qulaity tv and 5.1 receiver when watching tv

i just want HBO, Max in HD with less censorship (esp. for shows like True Blood ) ...the rest doesn't matter for now

Hope the charges won't be as high....
