QUOTE(smileguy @ Dec 18 2009, 04:49 PM) 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  MTV HD!!!!! COME QUICK!!! |

got it this afternoon
- the HD channels are really clear and crisp - toggled between 720p and 1080i. no noticeable difference. prolly my eyes can't tell the difference :S - the quality for SD channels is same as before - did not do rewiring. using existing wires - the decoder works so much faster. eg, the response after punching the channel number, info, etc - BUT the duration for punching the channel number is so short. similar to last time where people complain about not having enough time to punch in the 3 digits |
