Hi, I'm planning to suscribe b.yond this week. Just want to ask. I did check the program listing and found that NatGeo and NatGeo HD have different program?
Also, does it worth the extra RM20? I'm a new suscriber to Astro.
Rumors is that the entire Astro channels are going on HD by June 2010 before World Cup 2010 kicksoff
Rumours...any source regarding this?
I dun think so la coz, if the channel go hd, sure the price up then people will not subscribe..hehe,then but its maybe true oso coz world is towards digital transmission rite..
Hi, I'm not sure if it has been discussed in the old thread, If I'm a new suscriber, the b.yond dish is free if i suscribe for 12 months. Any installation charges? or registration charges? I cant find the cost breakdown in astro webpage. i'M WORRIED ON HIDDEN CHARGES
Also, the RM20 is for 5HD channel depending on the package i suscribe, as they add new channel like Discovery HD, will the RM20 increase?
Reliable sources confirmed most of the channels going on HD sooner between June & Dec 2010. RM50m spent on couple of HD channel rights
Who is the reliable sources? Please give the link at least. If that true, most likely for the channel that already have HD content. But Astro has more channel that still not available in HD, esp local content.
Please bring ESPN HD first la....

4 your information, it was me that updated the Astro B.yond wiki page.. the future channels is only forecast as these two channels are very popular and AXN HD is already available in MEASAT-3A... The channel number is predicted using the formula:
<SD channel number> + 20 = <HD channel number>
eg:
History Channel 555
555 + 20 = 575
History HD Channel 575
I hope it clears up the mess...
Please don't confuse ppl here when the news is NOT confirm.

Thanks for the help/infomation in advance.
Please read Astro Byond faq, all info is there except RM10 stamp duty. That is the only hidden charge.

I dun think it's possible to go HD with SD channels. Go HQ, yes, but not HD. Convert from DVB-S1 MPEG-2 to DVB-S2 H264 will improve picture quality by leaps and bounds, but 576i is still not HD no matter how you put it, even if it's upscaled to 720p/1080i on Astro's end.

I think their source is Wikipedia. The uncyclopedia that any troll can use to destroy the lives of thousands of people with just a click of the mouse.
Once you get used to looking up Wikipedia, first thing you do is check their references. If no references then it's probably a crock of bull...
