By the way, wat is AEM ha? So will it really work to have 2 tvs seeing 2 different channed via HDMI and composite?

I'm just wondering whether investment on this thing is worth it

i say no ESPN HD before jan 31st... who wanna bet?

I bet that Astro will launch ESPN HD this weekend
Someone in V2.0 saw an advertisement in Astro Magazine stating that Arsenal vs Man U will be available in HD
No im not a Man U or Arsenal fan
I expect Astro to keep their word and launch ESPN HD on the last day of January.
They promised this in December so that people would sign up thinking 1st January 2010 ESPN HD available.
But they will have to launch it by 11:59:59pm on 31st January 2010 or they could face massive complaints from Malaysians
Just my opinion

Quick question: Does covering the LNB with standard hypermarket plastic bag/plastic candy box can minimize rain fade/increase signal? Aesthetically, the Astro Dish with LNB covered with plastic is so bad....

that's priceless!

NO, if anything it will weaken the signal reflected off the dish to the LNB.

It's a line of sigth issue not a dish/LNB getting wet issue

I have seen many, many LNBs covered with things ranging from plastic bags to the bottom of a coke bottle! Those people.. sweat.gif
Anyone wanna bet that we will soon see a custom, bigger, 1M Astro dish? biggrin.gif

It'd be hilarious if that happen. Polis come serbu because thought it's an illegal C-Band dish, only to find it's for Astro laugh.gif

i have a reason to believe that they maybe leasing it frm skysports hd
im just guessing/assuming it.. icon_rolleyes.gif

I completely agree with u
SkySports do produce their own shows in HD so maybe and hopefully Astro will be leasing from it
However, Malaysians fans of EPL , please do not get your hopes so high. Most probably ESPN HD content will be not be the same as u see in normal ESPN. The reason? Not all ESPN programmes are in HD. Yes there will be EPL on ESPN HD but maybe not as much as u wished for. The available EPL HD matches are from SkySports HD and ESPN UK HD. So depends on broadcaster in the UK. Most probably u might get a load of NBA and MLB (Baseball) in HD because ESPN does broadcast them in HD in the US. Someone in V2.0 noted that HD programmes are in different contracts compared to normal programmes. Juz look at ASSP HD right now. Astro are struggling to fill up the programming on HD channel. Not everything on normal ASSP are available in HD such as Carling Cup and WWE Raw.

Well cover wth coke bottle wan is to avoid rain water interferences... probably if we add the bottle at the KNB, signal will increase further from 100% to 200% biggrin.gif brows.gif

From TallJustin's blog, it is acknowledged that the PQ for SD channels over HDMI is lower, and is noted by Astro. A fix will be issued via a software update soon. So good then.

Agreed. Only in Malaysia that a satellite provider is allowed to monopolize the market even when mass public complain. Like last time. People complain that service not good. What did MCMC do? Extend Astro's monopoly rights by 5 years. Now we will not see a competing satellite provider in the market until 2025! mad.gif  vmad.gif  And even worse, they help Astro by blocking them from bringing in new channels, effectively going against the people's complaints! mad.gif  vmad.gif

I also undertstand from a close source that the amount of chinese and Indian channels is also controlled my MMC,.One Malaysia ! One Provider rclxm9.gif vmad.gif brows.gif
