I was informed that Astro already launch the new decoder with componet out instead of S-video.

For those who wants it... the trick is..

Cancel current subsciption and re-subscribe to get a new decoder.


By now Astro realized that many LCD/Plasma dont come with S-video anymore. Also the AVR is abondoning s-video too. So... is time to change.


But I think Astro will use the HD and Word Cup next year to boost sales. This component output just a stepping stone to resolve the problem of no S-video in many new LCD/Plasma TV.

So,...... I think it will happen next year. And Sales will be good. Start buying it stock... ha ha ha ha

I wonder how much is the different in term PQ comparing S-Video and Component cable.

My experience from S-Video to component cable..... very visible with my DVD player.

And in the future... when Astro go Digital... HDMI will make hell of a different.

If Astro not changing, those netTV and movies will take over..... who need astro ? ha ha ha ha

Extracted from the article..... interesting...

"Early in 2010 we plan to offer an HD DVR as a premium product. All our next generation boxes, whether DVRs or zappers, will be IP-enabled, capable of hybrid DTH and IPTV operation and interconnection via a home network."
