saw astro supersport HD at the astro store today...they had football clips as a demo...

TV was a 42" Samsing LCD they had on the wall... do not know if its hd ready or full-hd...

natural 16:9 yay!
the grass looks kind of "blurry and soft" when the camera moves around quickly...image of course is noticeably sharper... the close ups when interview players is good...i would imagine some people MAY be disappointed if they are expecting miracles from astro hidef...i guess u just have to judge for yourself...

DO NOT expect a bluray like image quality as it is clearly not as refined... however it is a stepup from standard def... i imagine that the movies and discovery channels would fare better...

did not get to hear any sound..

Am looking forward to mine! biggrin.gif

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.

You can't watch HD through composite, period.

Really?
Then older HDTVs that don't have HDMI are rightfully screwed then?
