there won't be, all subtitles are in SD and not compatible with HD

wow... ur dad really a supermen... from wonder family...

so stupid the astro decoder, how come cannot transmit DD5.1 over HDMI?

whereas for DVD player able to do so thru HDMI.

anybody know why? thx

he did complaint about astro transmission after he got a hdtv say people face cant see clearly, how come the grass so fake when compare to dvd, and so on, wasted few k in it, now got hd pulak, he dont want install, say waste rm20 for ntg, and not full hd somemore

i somehow admit he has a very good eye, although he wear spec

I guess your dad's HDTV is of LCD kind
get it properly calibrated or get a better quality LCD TV

no . it was sony 29 inch hd 1280*1080 type(CRT), bought it when it 1st released. damn expensive when it released.
no hdmi, only got component.
anyway i will convince him to get astro b.yond

my aunt house has a 32' full hd samsung lcd series 4 or 5 forgot ady,

tried blu ray(PS3 with full hd movie) at my aunt house, superb quality, almost no flaw
then try 720p video, very clear, but look nearer, got line punya

go and ask ur dad to buy slim tv la...crt tv can put in bedroom....living room should be equiped with plasma/lcd.....dun care how big...its a trend now....hehe

720p is a full screen image per frame.
What do you mean you saw lines?
How close were you to the TV?

Then you can only see it in 576i only, better get Full HD TV first before subscribe to byond.
Actually, 1080i is sharper than 720p. In my 32", i cant barely see the line within 1m
I also prefer 1080i mode in football telecast, it's better in La Liga HD so far (at least in my eyes). Maybe need really fast action sport (F1? ) to see the different.

no point buying a 16:9 now, unless my dad order astro b.yond
still prefer CRT 4:3 when watch astro basic edisyon
watch dvd no gai lo, black at top and bottom

for broadcast, 1080p is a bandwidth glutton, that's why HD channels broadcast in 1080i.... Just wait for better codec for us to enjoy 1080p TV

no, we tested in full HD lcd tv in my aunt house if you got see the previous post
we need a 200 frames per sec for F1, not a super duper HD
for football maybe we need, because sometimes we cant really see the footballer face

we do the football in 720p

720p is a sharper image then 1080i and is more suited to fast moving images.

Bro,

Since saw you mention somewhere you're working with Astro, can you explain why those who opt for yearly billing need to pro-rate billed from Byond activation date?

In my case, my next billing cycle was 16 March and since my Sports package was price protected until next billing cycle, then after pro-rate due to Byond activation, then how was it being calculated?

I yet to get a copy of my statement after 2 call to CS to request for a fax over to me and another request to email me a copy of statement via Astro website submission. If you want me to wait for mailed statement, then I need to wait another 2 ~ 3 weeks. Thanks to Pos Malaysia.

Thanks in advance!

William

wouldn't have a clue? I don't work in that area. ask me a tech question about broadcast & I'll answer it if I can. Sorry you need to call them

My story just wanna share 4 fun here:

13/01 - Call Astro to order Byond
14/01 - Get T&C call from Astro
15/01 - Get another T&C call from Astro (Giving great service to woo me!)
16/01 - Installer call and came. But cannot install. Got printing error on his form regarding the Smartcard number. He can't deal with it then since it was Saturday and office close. Fine..I understand.
19/01 - Call installer. He said printing error still being fixed
20/01 - Call CS to ask the status
21/01 - CS call ask my Smartcard number. They will call Byond department and ask the status.

I just want to share my experience. Not complaining not condemning. I know Astro said in 10 working days to get install. I know they say 1st come 1st serve service.

The thing is..I almost got Byond in 3days. But they need more than 3days to fix printing error. Thats the only problem 4 me. Still, I will wait and see. Keep a smile on my face
