Most Malaysian actually doesn't care about LETTERBOX.., sure many of us agree with my statements...
but when it comes to pillarbox, yeah! many of us really hate and don't like this... actually, it is the same things, just letterbox has "empty" slot on above and below picture... and Malaysian have seen letterbox since their small. So, probably their eyes "sudah biasa" with it... |

QUOTE(carbman @ Mar 13 2010, 12:07 PM) This is really screwed up. OK....I get the purists who want a pillar-boxed image for the 4:3. But WHAT ABOUT the native SD 16:9 broadcasts? Check out some of the SD History channels: they are in SD widescreen format, but due to the stupid firmware, we get PILLAR BOX AND LETTERBOXING!! WTF? I thought that having black bard ALL AROUND the image is illegal for a broadcasting company. I agree.. i'm watching celestial movies right now.. this is F@#$ing ridiculous... its like i'm watching tv on my lcd monitor! |

correct me if i am wrong..
as of today, astro has yet to charge us on astro b.yond. and if you ve been using from jan, that means 3 month of free byond... we are still not paying the extra rm20 yet... so rather that you guys hentam or kasi cukup cukup or complain or marah or kasi ajar, it s better to be polite coz firstly its good manners and secondly you have not paid a single cent yet to them..lets be fair. come april, first bill and if there are still issue to be resolved...its your money and your voice...open table mates... until then, lets be fair. |
