Actually all retailer oledi has their HD decoder in hand..For demo purpose after official launch..
Maybe u go to a nearby one and see they allow u to preview it or not.. Hehe.. New decoder will be around 50% size of the silver decoder..power supply is external one, like those laptop power adaptor..

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Dec 9 2009, 10:16 AM) 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? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-JXfyvlPh0 enjoy! |

QUOTE(moomoos @ Dec 9 2009, 08:20 PM) sorry to say somemore, after merdeka, and Tun Dr Mahathir, had stress, we will be citizens of malaysia in 2020, and now our "one malaysia" Bro , Indians too the same we pay more then then Bumi friends who have the privelage to more free channels.All they need is a sports package thats it not like us have to get xtra if not nothing to watch.sorry to elaborate ok but, i see we chinese are being pinalised, our package is the most expensive as we really need Wah Lai Toi (Dynasti) for other races, they just need the minimum package, to be frank Astro is very unfair since Day 1..... By the way hope Tommorrow HD is launched  |

QUOTE(pirateguy @ Dec 9 2009, 09:23 PM) Its not officially launched lah. How can explain the package price to the public? i "very know" its not launch yet.... astro is a monopoly business concept, so are the decoders... decoders are not expensive like vehicles, for vehicles...you book at the launch date, and take delivery on the 1st phase of ready stocks, 1st come 1st delivered basis.. we do know Malaysian TV network, going HD broadcast rite?? in the NEAR future, Even its in the NEAR future, we can still buy HD receiver LCD's mind not, dvico ( which many of our forumers had already invested in one). so what i basically mean, is we just get ourself ready, so if Malaysian TV goes HD on the 18th, those who have the equipment will be able to enjoy on that very day itself !!! correct for astro, you want to get ready also kenot, you have to wait for them announce, then maybe subscribers will be notified in batches when their installation is available.... just like "premium BOX office" you pay ahead so on the broadcast date you get to watch... so shows are not even launched yet but you got the prices\, pay and just wait for broadcasting.... got it  Added on December 10, 2009, 10:44 am QUOTE(smileguy @ Dec 10 2009, 09:11 AM) Astro should have given out boxes first to customers and then launch it.
