i dont get it, they said have RM150 million in marketing for HD rollout, why not yet done any marketing to generate buzz around Astro HD??

precisely, the 150m funds suppose to be the decoders/dish y not send to us 1st prior to launch date, so come 11th all will enjoy HD broadcast

now i am really wondering a plus for astro also ( this i must say )

if malaysian TV goes HD, so those with astro HD, will not have to change their TV!!! ( fingers crossed )

so are we getting dvb-s2 decoder? hopefully we can use it to receive free-to-air HD channels

the hottest issues this week....

Why are you arguing about this? We all know about it lah.

Why compare with vehicles? Unlike decoder, vehicles has a different kind of market.

Look at iPhone, they announce it during Mac expo, but no one can order it straight away. Intel also announce their CPU, but you cannot get it straight away at lowyat plaza. Same thing with Astro HD. 11th is the official announcement and people can start registering.

That's really...really...really IMPOSIBBLE

Because its not the launch day lah. Why is it so hard to understand these things?

i'm not chinese but i'm also taking dynasty package...
because i like to watch TVB Dramas on Wah la Toi... but sometimes feel annoying with Malay subtitles that they provided... like biscuit.. kejap ada..kejap tiada..

Someone's getting cranky.

clearly you have not seen the latest dvb-s2 decoder.... it can make coffee and toast bread, so if you use it as an alarm clock, when you wake up in the morning, your HD channel switches on, toast and coffee is ready

reflash the rom, no?

why go to all these trouble to watch free to air channel?

astro employee i guess

if its imported, i think it shud house the Digital RF circuit too

but anyway, will be made known, or maybe can drop by astro retailers to view the decoder

If im an employee what for I keep asking about the decoder.

for iphone and intel.... the situation is different, they face fierce competition from nokia, blackberry, sony ericcson, omnia, AMD etc

so they have to announce even their prouduct is still in protocol stage, so "world humans" will refrain from buying anything competitive 1st, unless in urgent need...
marketing strategy ma

Astro will hv to compete wit TM IPTV early next yr...which is good to us, as Astro already teamed up with Maxis to provide data services, which i assume it will intergrate in part of Astro offerring later on.

Bro ! when Astro was that canggih !? Remember Max the flop ? I am sure the decorder wld be the cheapest make !

i have tried find the spyshot of this around the web but null.....they kept it secret so close la...

The reason not to announce ealier is simple, when ppl dunno about it, they will still proceed to subscribe for current package with old decoder, so old decoder stock won't be piled up and imagine they announce the official release date 3/6 months earlier, who else will subscribe to old one?

I was about to subscribe to astro few days back and i'm so lucky that i did not... huhu

2morrow, at least lots of info will known...just wait....
