i hope they lay their hands off these hd channels from censorship (referring to HBO)... else its a big waste... censored hd channels =__=

ecam, show the pics video pls...lol i really wana see it...even though i've just called and subscribe to it lol

oh it takes so long to get astro byond....? then good news for me... if it comes before 21st...i'm gonna be so dead...exam is up and i will not be able to concentrate

the aspect ratio is correct because SD channels are all broadcasted 4:3 for astro...of course there are some rare exception when the content is 16:9 they still broadcast it as 4:3...

btw, where is the astro center with byond? i want to go check out the demo too~!

well, now got 4 already, if they introduce 5 next year.... its 9 lol... no?

you have to understand one thing, yes tmnut introduces IPTV... but what will be the contents/channels that they could offer? So many channels were taken by astro as exclusive broadcast rights in Malaysia. If they offer similar channel line up like MiTV....then its as good as bye bye...

HSBB wise... i wonder how fast and where is it available...if they are using HSBB to broadcast IPTV, their potential customers will be limited by the available service area, which is quite limited for now.

if they were to set up their on stations, they might even lose more money than getting those channels itself...

I don't have it, but I do remember that these were the few (correct me if i'm wrong):
MTVasia
All STARTV channels available on astro--> this is good enough to kill the deal
HBO?
All TVB related channels/medias

i dont think so... because ESPN gets EPL matches...unless they take ESPN phillipines....american football only lol....

it doesnt work that way, ESPN get EPL matches, but ESPN is part of STARTV too...

but in total there is 2 usb ports...front and back... so many lol

i have the same problem with you... no idea why the contractor wants to conceal the darn cables... my best bet would be ignoring the concealed wire and drag the wire from dish and drill 1 hole near the window side to bring it in... hope this idea helps...

recording hdtv with those? its as good as breaking it lol... if you want to record hdtv without DRM embedded, your current best bet is Hauppauge HD PVR.... though of course it isnt digitally saving the stream, but resampling the video...kinda wasted.... better work on how to extract out the DRM protected video files from recorded hdds

well... NGC would be fun to record =P.... I would want to record all eps of "Don't tell my mother" haha! These show is hard to find online

im sure you can checkout the schedule on the history channel website, if not go look at starhub's program guide.

yeah lol, most likely will be resampling to higher resolution lol... but its kinda wasting bandwidth if they really do so, black and white, lots of dots/noise/snow around the video....

yess.. astro has called me, said that will get it installed within 10 working days =)

i actually registered on fri... then on sat...they called, but i was using my phone as gprs line...so they didnt talk to me....then monday i decided to call again to confirm the thing and today they called...

Yes the cable needs to be replaced... but Im not sure what cables, perhaps a better type..diff material to avoid interference of other signals since hd involves high data rate.

I have a feeling it will support 2 simultaneous outputs.


Har? are you sure? Why in hell would they use component output then? They might as well just use back composite lol... If they really do that, they will lose out to those customers who owns old hdtv sets without hdmi input


Im very sure component cable could only go up to 1080i not p.... my lecturer told me that... and when I went to buy the component cable, I've seen so many brands but all of them support at most 1080i....

not entirely true =)

DirecTV 1080p
