still got 3 days to go...just wait..
This is what ASTRO reply regarding the launch of ESPN HD;Thank you for your e-mail of 25 January 2010.
We wish to inform you that ESPN HD will be introduced soon. However, the exact launching date will be advertised once it is confirmed via on air promos and our website at www.astro.com.my.
Please note that not all programmes are available or produced in high definition broadcasts at the moment. High definition is still a relatively new and expensive system. Just like the transition from black and white television broadcast to colour television broadcast, it will take a little while more before we get to a stage where all channels are in high definition. Nevertheless, the picture and sound quality of the existing SD channels will be enhanced due to better aspect ratio handling and a direct HDMI connection with the television.
Should you have any other enquiries, kindly contact our Contact Centre at 1300-82-3838 which is operational from 8.00 am to 12.00 midnight daily or email to wecare@astro.com.my.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you.
Yours sincerely,

I started worried that Astro cannot fulfill their promise within this month. Based on above reply, the promo should be advertised if they want to launch at least on 31st Jan. I think they are facing problem regarding broadcasting rights due to this is our own creation channel..just like ASSP HD. They have to select some HD programme to fulfill their schedule, and their struggle to keep interesting line up in ASSP HD. In Singapore, Starhub only create one sport channel in HD. They called "Sport HD" which they are combine EPL, La Liga and few golf programme. So If we have 2 channel, I'm doubt they can fulfill their schedule.
Anyway, hope Astro will do everthing and launch it at least on 31st January.
