still monitoring, now entering it into orbit. parked at 91.5E (co-located Measat 3)carry 12 Ku and 12 C transponders.

Yes you're right. They put as many channel as possible in one transponder thus will cramp the bandwidth. As for Picture Quality frame (frame size 702 x 588) there's not much diffrence if you used good quality composite video cable or Monster S-Video cable.!

Currently 5 HD providers on MEasat 3 C band, but not for MAlaysian..!! Pity to all Malaysian...

Hopefully next M3A transponder will have HD transmission for MAlaysian.

to add...

IN vietnam they already have a HDTV. About 9 HD channel being transmitted via Vinasat 1. At this moment all channel is free to view (FTA). Previously they hired a Measat2 transponder and now they have their own satellite system.

for those can read viet go this link.

While in Malaysia the only one provider will not bother about what people say. They just feed it and make asumption that Malaysian know nothing about HD. I know the Measat3 already equip with HD capabilities transponder.

are we left behind or just a matter of time..

Astro will go for HD but when? nobody knows, since there's no other provider to compete them. They monopolised the sky.

Vietnam TV already on HD, Thailand still on testing, India got many HD channels and Singapore HDTV via DVB-T transmission. In Japan most TV in HDTV! In Malaysia.....lu fikir la sendiri..

Added on November 2, 2009, 4:31 pmPlease open your mind, the current astro receiver is DVB-S where HD is in DVB-S2. To receive the HD signal the DVB-S2 receiver is required. Most LCD tv is ready for HD. (HD ready) mean that it can display the HD video content but the result will be in SD.

Feasible or not, current technology and customer requirement looking for a quality audio/videos. Measat is already have this faclities. People will look and asked for a better service.

Haiya bro, you still left behind aaa.!! The analog transmission is something in history, now almost transmission using digital or they shift into digital. Astro using DVB-S while in SG using DVB-T. DVB mean Digital Broadcasting and S stand for satellite, T for terrestrial.

In SG where having small area, the DVB-T is the right solution as for country such Malaysia using DVB-S is better. (DVB-T now being under testing by RTM.) There's no such analog HDTV. More info at

http://www.corporate.mediacorp.sg/technolo...tv/abouthd5.htm

Astro is in digital but in high compress SD format. DVB-S, QPSK. kU-Band.
MediaCrop SG is digital, transmit in DVB-T.
No one will ever implement the HDTV in analog.

hope will explain.

You're right but it was long time ago,

In Japan, however, even that limited standardization of HDTV did not lead to its adoption, principally for technical and economic reasons. Early HDTV commercial experiments such as NHK's MUSE required over four times the bandwidth of a standard-definition broadcast, and despite efforts made to shrink the required bandwidth down to about two times that of SDTV, it was still only distributable by satellite with one channel shared on a daily basis between seven broadcasters. In addition, recording and reproducing an HDTV signal was a significant technical challenge in the early years of HDTV. Japan remained the only country with successful public broadcast analog HDTV. Digital HDTV broadcasting started in 2000 in Japan, and the analog service ended in the early hours of 1 October 2007.

In Europe, analogue 1,250-line HD-MAC test broadcasts were performed in the early 1990s, but did not lead to any established public broadcast service.

Several systems were proposed as the new standard for the USA, including the Japanese MUSE system, but all were rejected by the FCC because of their higher bandwidth requirements. At the same time that the high definition systems were being studied, the number of television channels was growing rapidly and bandwidth was already a problem. A new standard had to be radically efficient, needing less bandwidth for HDTV than the existing NTSC standard for SDTV.


it just like NTSC versus PAL, where PAL dominate world color tv transmission.

Let see HDTV in Japan.

just for reference..

No time for that. perhaps...

Astro also can be used as a early warning rain detactor. (E.W.R.D)

That the nature of Ku Band.

if used 5-6ft it will solved the rain fade problem (at least) and then we have a lot of option to view other than astro. Dont you think you dream become reality??

to be more precise check at *ww.lyngsat.com. or at *ww.satcodx.com

Langkawi..

sometimes our eye cant differentiate between 1080 and 720. but 720p is good already.. as I'm already enjoyed at 1080i long time ago.

some sample capture form Truevision (1920x1080) and Luxtv HD. (1250x1080)
