The TV is full-HD.
So yea.... 720p shown on screen will still need to be upscaled anyways, thus the blurriness.

I don't think Astro will be willing to shell out for 1080p signals just yet.

But so far the response for Astro B.yond is good, I hope they add more channels quickly starting next year.

no one show 1080p before la...it's just too big
1080p is best if u watch it on BD....not satellite TV

is the cable no need to be replaced?...cuz my cable is installed by my uncle last time when my family move house
the cable is done nicely though the side of the ceiling....very neat, clean and cannot be seen
i'm just afraid those astro guy with lousy skill and want to finish it fast...they'll make a mess of the cable wiring
my dad is going to be mad if that happen
so if the wire no need change thn it's good

if the current cable we used is RG6

try negotiate with the installer, but if astro is giving out 20m for free, why not just take it

i want to but my wiring is done by my uncle when we move house
it's wired up at the side of the ceiling...very neat, clean and unseen
i'm just afraid those astro ppl come and ruin it and install lousy-ly
u know la...they want to finish it fast thn just open pull the cable over and didn't even close it back..didn't do it nicely
my dad also agree to upgrade...he just worry the wiring is done lousy-ly

*
7 days?...so good?

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
*
what?...another one?
seem like installation start today
nice
some pics would be better
