For those not sure whether to go HD or not, better wait till some of us already use the thing for a year. Later you cannot escape because of the 12-month contract.

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

any particular reason must have it before Chinese new year?
good to show off on CNY smile.gif

also by then if would've been a good 8 weeks install from the date i filled in the form to register and about 7 weeks before the call to confirm order and 6 weeks from my 1300 phonecall to chase up with them...

seems like a long time but with NO news of anyone in Kuching or Sarawak getting b.yond yet...i wont be surprized...
