Yes, i have read about it somewhere where they planned to broadcast the final of reality show "fantasia academy" in HD format....  smile.gif

If i'm not mistaken, in HK, most of TVB Jade program actually shoot in HD, isn't it? Not just drama, but game show, concert etc...
even their news and breakfast show (Good morning HK i think) also shoot in HD....  sweat.gif

and i think, based on your statement astinst, we're actually really far away to migrating for HDTV... (I mean Free TV, for Astro, I salute.. it's a really good start when they launch the astro byond...  icon_idea.gif )

TVB can shoot their show in HD because it can sell to whole world, ROI is short. Bit if RTM/TV3 shoot the show in HD, their show can sell to which country... sweat.gif

Maybe like Astro (need to pay extra $$$ to receive HD channel)....TVB demand more $$$ to let Astro broadcast their HD program.
I am not surprise we need to pay extra for AOD.

Well if it gets parents to subscribe to B.yond...

Local production have always needed to break out of catering to local market. If HD is going to cost them more, they have to figure out how to make their investments work.

I've seen the TVB stuff in HD and their production looks crap. Bad make-up and sets and poor lighting. It actually looks better seen in SD.

No you misunderstood. I was joking about it.

Anyway my nephews (kids) quite like the show and I could never figure out the appeal.

If your Condo management allow you to install individual dish, then you are ok. But if your condo use centralize Astro dish, then you have to wait Astro & your condo management to work out the plan to install/change to new dish (may take 12 to 24 month according B.yond FAQ).

hi guys,

I got my Byond installed nearly two weeks ago. New grey dish, decoder, card, hdmi cable. Subscribed to Sports initially, but later added Learning. The problem i facing is that the decoder freezes/hangs randomly while watching astro. Happens in variety of channels. First I thought may be its the heat, but still same if using air-cond and leaving the TV cabinet cover wide open. The freeze happens at random times as well, some times within 10 mins of starting Astro, sometimes after 1 hours. The LED on the decoder will also freeze, for example "C831" will be come "C" or "1" or "3". At times when I off and on the Astro decoder, it even hangs when booting, so the decoder will show "b" or "t", for example. The installer came and did update, and he stayed for 15 mins - no problem. But the problem recur again about 1 hour after he left. And still recurring daily, few times a day. I usually wait 5 or 10 mins before switching on the decoder again and the problem sometimes recurs.

TV is LCD 42" LGLF20.

Decoder to TV: HDMI
Decoder to Amp: Red/White cable and Coaxial(used during HD channels). Problem occurs even if use the red/white audio cable only (coax unplugged).
Software date 23 Dec 2009.

Anyone else having same problem?

I got the same problems as u mentioned above..almost like 10X already after installation last Friday. sad.gif sad.gif
call them up yesterday..they promised to call me up again today after few actions they asked me to do didn;t solve the problems.

danke
