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

QUOTE(Aspen @ Oct 23 2009, 06:48 PM) 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

QUOTE(neb @ Oct 25 2009, 02:02 AM) 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."
