me..nope

err..u like me put the list or not..?
u like then thanks

u dont like then sorry

thanks to u bro...

if you check the schedule for today and tomorrow, there are repeat of the group stages of Champ League...for example tomorrow have game between Liverpool v Fiorentina...so maybe the possibility of showing Champ League knock out stages are high.

i like but not every one
just put spoiler..my 2 cenT

kalau ade CL lagi cantik..kalau ade
replay kat espn hd ade siar..ade kemungkinan CL di espn hd

thanks to u bro...

we wait this month..
champions league is at the end of this month..
logic does say that ESPN HD will show the Champions League because SkySports feeds ESPN the HD Broadcast..

BUT..
There is one problem though..
ESPN has the tendency to pick Champions League matches involving EPL clubs
For example..SkySports show Bayern Munich vs Juventus in HD..
At the smae time Chelsea vs Athletico Madrid in SD
ESPN tend to show the SD match because of Chelsea
Lets hopE they pickup matches in HD rather than basing it on EPL teams

But my gut does say AC Milan Vs Man U and Chelsea vs Inter Milan
Return of Beckham and Mourinho will be in HD!!!

For the last 13 years Astro has used a real mixture of LNB's and Dishes, some will work for HD (Measat 3a) and some won't.

More importantly the new dish and LNB IN COMBINATION will give a massive signal strength increase, up to 6db from my measurements. In addition, the dual band installation means no splitters or internal wiring should ever be used, this once again may give x4 signal strength.

Measuring signal strength gives a good indication of how much rain drop out you will get, but the carrier to noise reading (which the box does not do) is the real indicator. Anyone using amplifiers will increase signal strength but not carrier to noise ratio, hence your signal is in reality no better!

If anyone on this forum has kept their old dish, old LNB or even worse made the installer use their concealed cable then they have really lost out. If you have not had the full new installation then there will be many time that you will loose picture due to rain and you can't complain to Astro, this is your own doing!

Many of us here are reporting that Astro has "fixed the rain problem", but that is only if you have the new dish, new LNB, new wiring direct to the box! Otherwise you have either been ripped off or you have literally ripped yourself off!

So, please please, no more celebrating that you have "kept your old dish" or "used concealed wiring" or "fitted an amplifier" or "set your entry point". The first three are you losing out because of your own reluctance to get a new install and the second is simply making the box tune to a stronger transponder for the signal strength testing. If you use entry point 18 etc, then entry point 1 is still the same!

Sorry, but I had to clear this up! I really don't want people here losing out and then even worse complaining when it rains!

Added on February 2, 2010, 12:18 amLyngsat is showing the Measat "Contribution Feed" this is not the DTH (Direct to home) signal.

Measat run a business broadcasting channels to other broadcasters in the region, e.g. StarHub, what you are seeing here is those transmissions. The "Contribution Feed" is C-Band and uses totally separate transponders and transmission frequencies.

now u can see the pimples ar...

The best way to set up a HDTV is like this:-

1: Make sure the box is 1080i
2: Set all the picture settings to about 60%, contrast, brightness etc.
3: Switch off all picture enhancement, e.g. Motion compensation, pixel plus etc.
4: If you are using anything such as 100Hz or 200Hz, then switch them off.
5: Set all modes to off, e.g. Cool, Warm etc.

Basically you want your TV to do as little to the picture as possible.

6: If you have "overscan" switch it ON, basically this will give you more visible SD picture but you may see the timecode lines at the top (switch overscan off if this annoys you)
7: If you are going to use your remote to control the TV then firstly set the volume of the box to 90%
8: If you are watching in a dark room, reduce the brightness, this makes the black blacker, 40% should do.

Added on February 2, 2010, 12:39 amWith all sports channels like ASSHD and ESPNHD the events are received from all round the world, all it takes is for one "hop" to be lower in bandwidth and the viewer will see it. Astro look like they have set up the channel at their end to be of very good quality, the problem starts if a feed coming in to Astro is bad, then we will see it!

From my measurements Astro are broadcasting at 8Mbits/s, this is very good. If one of their feeds is only 6Mbits/s then we will see a picture quality of only 6! This is not Astro's fault, more the quality control of the broadcaster(s) that get the feed to Astro.
