Dear Sir,



I am an Astro Movie subscriber. who watches HBO HD now.

I regret to note that both HBO and HBO HD show the same movies. HBO should look into this. This deprives us of all the fun. HBO HD should show exclusive and selected  HBO HD movies instead each month and the movies should not be the same as on HBO. Monthly selected movies should make its debut on HBO HD alone and at no point should both these channels screen same movies.

I hope HBO looks into the matter and implements some changes,thank you.





Welcome to a world without rules, a Gotham

I think currently HBO already broadcast their channel in HD to astro but astro crop it to SD for old decoder.
So the content should be same regardless its SD or HD.
New content will be available when they broadcast new channel like HBO2 HD.

may i change decoder and dish without subscribe HD package?

Update: 26/12/2009 around 5pm

Sound Setting: Dobly Digital 5.1 only

HBO HD: Central channel source still being downmix with Front L & R channels, but now the delay is lesser than 20ms
NETGEO HD: Central channel sources being downmix with Front L & R channels.  The delay between Central and Front L & R channel are over 200ms (extrenely annoying!    ) <--- it was ok before, guess someone from Astro toying with the setting. 
History HD: Same as HBO HD

Maybe its new to Astro, so they're still learning how to handle this, but I really hope that they can rectify this asap... anyway I will send this to Astro again via email.

After nearly 3-4 hours of setting i still can get DD5.1 to work, again set to 5.1 no sound n set to stereo only got sound. Anyone got this problem.

I am using HDMI cable bro.
