Maybe we should complain that no company broadcasts in 4:4:4.

I meant what I said. I don't know what you remember/know or don't remember/know.

You never mentioned HBO-HD either. You "refer" to HBO-HD but you didn't "mention" it.

And you are comparing HBO-HD to BD for what purpose exactly? The simple fact is this: with the exception of HBO original programming, the movies on that channel are lower in quality by BD in terms of picture and sound quality, and supplemental features, and they also come out on BD earlier. Even DVDs of Chuck is better than what you get out of Astro's AXN.

So aside from pointing the obvious, why did you point that out?
You said that, not me. If you believe that expats are more important and given preferential treatment, then the chips are on your shoulder. And speaking about "the typical malaysian", last time I checked they have not migrated from VCD/DVD to BD in droves and Carrefour and Tesco don't stock RM300 BD players.

Back to the point, it's all about balancing the sports content to cover a wide range of sports. And since it's Supersport HD, it's about balancing sporting events that are shot in HD. If there's badminton or sepak takraw tournament coverage in HD, I'd like to see that on Supersport HD.

apa nombor installer tu?? aku kat tapah perak..nak tanya diaorg nama aku ada tak...

ai... i dont know about you, but i cant see much diff... as long the colour is vibrant, the sound is good, picture is detailed and sharp without pixellated images, i'm dead happy with it.... (though of course im not happy now, considering how vile their SD transmissions are lol...)

I was being sarcastic .. LOL.

Yeah .. our eyes aren't that sensitive to colors. ASTRO's SD txn is crap. That's why I'm opting for B.yond. Anticipating sports in HD.

Anyone here who has (or in the progress) subscribed to Astro HD that lives in an apartmenet with a central dish?

How does your apartmenet management react to this new Astro service?

1st my management is clueless abt Astro Byond n fwd me to our nominated installer, who sed tht our centralizd dish is not HD ready. Hence need to rewire every thang, up untill the wall socket (which i think, the cost is way too high, which translated to NO!!!) so i am contemplating to do an individual dish installation in my balcony, which contravened the House Rules....

Even BD is not in 4:4:4 colorspace. Full bandwidth color space is only used for post pro and digital cinema projection.

Depend on your management and service agreement. A friend of mine have to wait for centralized wiring because his service agreement specifically says that he can't have anything installed on the exterior of his unit. (But if he is within the line of sight of Measat satellites, he can install the dish indoors and get the signal).

At my end, we changed management to owner's association and they changed the policy. So long as it's within/around the balcony area, it's fine by them.

anyone have tried to connect to lighting arrestor ? instead direct connect from dish to decoder. already tried but no picture display & the signal totally lost. already called astro cs, the officer told me will forward this issue to byond team. previously used this lighting arrestor with old decoder with no problem.

I think you can find that sort of device at pretty much any electronic stores that sells Audio/Video equiptment.

electronics store will have this cheap. also seen sold at ace hardware.
do you have an old video cassette player/recorder that accepts RCA input sends out RF out? that'll work too.

Jalan pasar, banyak bro

nak pogi jln pasar tu yg malas....hehehehehehe...are aain ada jual ke bro cam kat kajang ke

i found AV to RF,it's actually composite to RF...i am looking for component to RF cant find, component > composite rite?

On pic no. 3, the Astro Supersport Logo is quite in the middle of the screen, not on the very edge. Does it happpen on all HD channels?

Guys, do you think the logo is bright enought that it will cause burn in marks for plasmas?

Anyone, do Nat Geo HD, History HD, HBO HD provide Chinese subtitles or dual-language?

as i see now, they're no subtitle at all....
