the funny thing is the launch is just around the corner, and consumers still not updated, on the extra charges and how to change the set top boxes/dish

so who will be the 1st batch to view HD content

such a big multinational corporation..... but with screwed-up managemnet

Added on December 9, 2009, 8:09 pmactually before the HD launch, consumers must be notified about the charges maybe 6mths before,

so installation process will be done prior to those that agree,
and "BANG" on the 18th, consumers will withness 1080i broadcast

sorry to say somemore, after merdeka, and Tun Dr Mahathir, had stress, we will be citizens of malaysia in 2020, and now our "one malaysia"

sorry to elaborate ok

but, i see we chinese are being pinalised, our package is the most expensive as we really need Wah Lai Toi (Dynasti)

for other races, they just need the minimum package,

to be frank Astro is very unfair since Day 1.....

i "very know" its not launch yet.... astro is a monopoly business concept, so are the decoders...

decoders are not expensive like vehicles,
for vehicles...you book at the launch date, and take delivery on the 1st phase of ready stocks, 1st come 1st delivered basis..


we do know Malaysian TV network, going HD broadcast rite?? in the NEAR future, Even its in the NEAR future, we can still buy HD receiver LCD's mind not, dvico ( which many of our forumers had already invested in one).
so what i basically mean, is we just get ourself ready, so if Malaysian TV goes HD on the 18th, those who have the equipment will be able to enjoy on that very day itself !!! correct

for astro, you want to get ready also kenot, you have to wait for them announce, then maybe subscribers will be notified in batches when their installation is available....

just like "premium BOX office" you pay ahead so on the broadcast date you get to watch... so shows are not even launched yet but you got the prices\, pay and just wait for broadcasting.... got it

haha..haha... wats is there to br so secretive about..... its a monopolised business

either you take it or dont...

many subscribers still can stay tuned to the given basic channels,

but seriously we tak bolih le.... out of 100 i believe 80 and thats 80% sure must take the Dynasti package,

actually the given AEC, and another one is not so in demand

precisely, the 150m funds suppose to be the decoders/dish y not send to us 1st prior to launch date, so come 11th all will enjoy HD broadcast

now i am really wondering a plus for astro also ( this i must say )

if malaysian TV goes HD, so those with astro HD, will not have to change their TV!!! ( fingers crossed )

if its imported, i think it shud house the Digital RF circuit too

but anyway, will be made known, or maybe can drop by astro retailers to view the decoder

for iphone and intel.... the situation is different, they face fierce competition from nokia, blackberry, sony ericcson, omnia, AMD etc

so they have to announce even their prouduct is still in protocol stage, so "world humans" will refrain from buying anything competitive 1st, unless in urgent need...
marketing strategy ma

bro, you are lucky to be in that part of the world ( east Malaysia )

many sat dishes had been installed long time EVEN before astro was officially launch

even the rulling party dare not touch on this issue.....

so sorry to hear that....
...welcome to the club then....

dont think need to change cables ( astro using 75ohms same as coaxial ady), even RTM does their HD broadcast test using existing aerial, and RF cables
i really think serve no purpose having 2HDMI outs,
If no HDMI receiver also cant do anything

think no one will hook one to TV and the other to AVR

if your receiver have HDMI input, means you can bypass your astro HDMI thru existing AVR enven if the AVR is "switched OFF"

bro kianwee.....
nice video insert,
actually i thought of hearing the background music from your guitar strumming too.. haha

i've thought of it long ago, that 720p shud be better than 10801,( just no details ) cause its progressive scan,
but i still use 1080i haha haha somehow or rather just dont accept only

will try out next time again, i tested wit the dvico last time, NOW maybe with BD-Player

gracias for that lovely presentation.. just no background music thats all

the beginning and the end of the sorrowfull....painless.... suspense..... wait for astro HD news

called up my frendly astro retailer.

word is not launch yet, just receive the demo set, havent installed also, and dont know how's the procedure like....

so nothing is officially confirmed yet

same here oso,
i dont mind watching the 4:3 in 16:9 in wide zoom, really get a full 16:9 50" feel, but my HM prefer 4:3

even the astro retailers themselfs had the slightest idea, when launching, registration processes, etc

congratz...

so bro.... hows the 1080i HD demo??

bro....better check out properly 1st....

if you subscribe to HD channel, your old card will be diasbled cause you only have one account to switch over

if you want to keep the old one you must have 2 accounts, means double the $$$

haiya... what the fuss.... POTONG la...

pay RM30/mth to rent a DL server.... save the balance $$$

you can download as many HD content as you like... haha haha...

joke joke only ar....
