as opposed to what... going via your neighbours?

its mean that..u satelite channel la bro...

tell us more...i found nothing of Hi Def news from astro website

i think we need to wait till Fri for some kinda announcement from Astro

Read from yesterday's the Star In-Tech that it'll launch before end of the year
the HD content can support up to 1080i and even comes with surround sound
wonder how's the price like and the video bitrate that it delivers

Need to change decoder AND SATELLITE DISH!

What about those apartments / gated communities that have central Astro dish?

Is it really called Astro B-yond, not Astro Beyond?

what about when it's cloudy?
no signal again?

I still have no idea about 720p vs 1080i.Yes, P stands for progressive while I is interlaced but what are they really?If not mistaken, progressive is always better than interlaced.So now should we get a 1080p tv or a 720p?

A friend of mine who works in Astro will be getting her Astro HD decoder in 2 weeks time, and it's free for them. :-D

She also mentioned the actual date of Astro HD launching to the consumers is on 18th Dec.

Okay, do we need to pay for the new decoder?What about the dish?

Byond. be prepared to pay more and more and more and more......LOL

It's very likely that we have to pay for the decoder and the satellite dish upgrade. The exceptional one could be those pioneer subscribers decade ago.

Anyway, previously I heard the Astro HD will be in 720p, but looking at this aritcle again, it is "corrected" to 1080i. :-D

Hopefully we can 'trade-in' our existing decoder and dish. If not i start dish recyling business. LOL

I think content matters followed by transmission quality. Currently i dont find any excitement at all in their program. Apologies for my bluntness..

i bet my ass a World Cup 2010 Package on the horizon

How much do you think Astro will charge for World Cup 2010 package? RM100 or RM200?

I hope to watch Astro on Demand TVB series in HD and widescreen, just like how it was shown in HK.
