so the prob is now fixed. Should I subscribe to byond now or buy a 42" Full HD TV first?

Well..no wonder u didnt receive any update yet..
got such an arrogant and ungrateful attitude..
yes astro did screw up big time n people are still angry but at least they got everyone's stretch mode back..
except u la..enjoy ur zoom mode..
shame on u 1Malaysia citizen

I just come back n immediately update the firmware n everything back to the good old status except they change the stretch name to fit to screen.

whatever they call it, i'm just glad i can watch tv in full screen like the gd old days! no offence intended but the 1Malaysia don't apply to me cuz i'm singaporean - Malaysia Boleh

Thanks astro for all the solved problems... in the afternoon astro CS called me asking if my byond ok or not.. and he said taht all ASTRO related channels will be in HD by the end of year...

It's not possible.

Don't be so sure. Discovery Asia has had HD, but astro only pick NatGeo HD & History HD. Why?

Buy TV first. It's useless byond without HDTV

Maybe u should consider to get 3D TV. 3D movie will be coming soon on bluray.
But if u just want watch byond, 42" HDTV is good enough. No need Full HD.

leave the Astro Petition alone. its there to remind us the heartache & suferring we all gone thru the last few days!

yes... i love 'fit to screen'.. stretch mode is gone for good to make way for fit to screen.. yay! ...... screw the scretch! i luv FTS!! Fat Rooney here i cume....

I think you mean "zoom" not stretch.

i was being sarcastic towards stretch haters

Why the stupid ESPN HD says going to play barcelona vs stuttgart at 11pm until now also still showing the stupid banner

that games tomorrow @ 7pm, where does it say it's @ 11pm?

Any one of you realise that the new fit to screen not only back but certain programmes actually not full screen but having top & bottom chopped off...Anyway I feel this format given a better PQ compare to the stretch mode or even zoom

now people can watch fat wife and pillaxboxed wife. yay!

is it mean some programmes with the black bar on top and bottom will chopped off and make it more fit to screen?

Something you watch some of those Hollywood DVD/Blue ray movies which are not full screen. I feel this way the PQ getting better liao...

oh...
it is great for this,
some Hollywood movie have very large bar on top and bottom...

you only just notice this?
It's called 4:3 letterbox, & if you'll pardon the segway, just so happens to be covered in my very first blog post from almost a year ago
Blackbars on screen
