Are you guyz get call from astro on weekend? Or their just call on weekdays.
They promise to call back in 24hour but i got nothing. It almost 48hours from date i call them.. Please don't promise if they cannot comply.

yes... last week, they called me on Saturday to confirm the order...

great! now i can save my trouble to see hd movies.

so basically you guys pay how much per month?

read FAQ http://www.astro.com.my/byond/faq.asp
5 HD channels, RM20/month on top of existing subscription fee chargeable from april onward, exchange old decoder set for HD decoder FOC

wow u got it already? apart from the HD channels, how about the SD channels? Any "enhancement" as claimed by astro?

it looks have lots of interesting service/function,
i wonder is it will launch and they just talk in advance,
but finally be a liar and the service do not bring to us?

i think he got it way way before us
must be an inside person

Hi bro, where do you get the source that the fee chargeable from april onwards?

But anyway guys, dont be too happy just yet... some channels in eu that initially broadcast at high bitrate now has dropped to half of the initial broadcast ... and the picture is really flat.... we should start complaining once they do that.... else they would quietly reduce the bitrate and bam we are stuck with "HD" lol

Looks Like it, from what I know here nobody has HD all awaiting installation.
The other channels on HD is everyone's guess. The next target wld be Dynasty,Metro,News ,Fun & Variety packages Astro wld ensure all packages are subsribed !

Wikipedia has this

Viewers will only get HD channels for packages that they have already suscribed for. For an example, if you do not currently have the sports package, then you will not be given the sports HD channels. For starters, Astro B.yond offers 5 new channels in HD mainly in 1080i:

Astro Supersport HD - Channel 831
ESPN HD - Channel 832 (Launches 1 January)
HBO HD - Channel 431
National Geographic Channel HD - Channel 573
History HD - Channel 575
Astro plans to include more channels by next year. Some channels that could be added are :

Disney HD
Cinemax HD
CNN HD
Cartoon Network HD
MTV HD
