A friend of mine who works in Astro will be getting her Astro HD decoder in 2 weeks time, and it's free for them. :-D

She also mentioned the actual date of Astro HD launching to the consumers is on 18th Dec.

It's very likely that we have to pay for the decoder and the satellite dish upgrade. The exceptional one could be those pioneer subscribers decade ago.

Anyway, previously I heard the Astro HD will be in 720p, but looking at this aritcle again, it is "corrected" to 1080i. :-D
