Hehe..i hardly watch astro channel..but my mother often watch it. She doesnt care it is HD or what. I think astro should upscale all of the ch. and transmit it in 16:9 format. That would be better i think.
I don't expect astro for "convert" all their channel to HD...,But if they willing to convert all channels to 16:9 will be enough...
come on, most television now are in 16:9...
if i'm not mistaken, in UK, BBC now only transmit in 16:9....

Somebody else said it before. The equipment outlay is a one-time cost (sans maintenance and tape costs). The real cost of HD is in fixing the makeup, wardrobe and sets. That's because the production has to be of movie-set quality. You made me look at the HDW790. Yeah, it costs US$60,000.
But if you're a production house or starting one, I think investing in about 4-6 RED One cameras are better at US$18,000 per body. You do have to rent the lenses but at least your footage can be up to 4K and higher than 4K Digital Cinema standards; of course you can shoot in HD too with RED One. Lots of films were shot with RED One cameras, including The Informant, The Book Of Eli, Knowing and District 9. So practically, you're shooting your project at a very high quality. AND you could buy a mount that, combined with two RED Ones, will enable you to shoot in 3D.
Anybody who's thinking of buying a Betacam HD is thinking about quality issues. Handycams are great for non-professionals or when you want a HD footage but not having the insurance to put a BetaHD cam in the danger zone. There's a slew of settings you can play with on the more expensive cameras than you could with a consumer grade camera. You get what you pay for.
By the way, I heard that the Astro site visit was canceled because of lack of attendance. I would suggest that the organizers ask Astro for a rescheduling prior to the World Cup HD broadcast can be scheduled. That way people can see how they handle live and taped feeds.
