Those with HDTV dont bother just play with you TV picture settings my Toshiba ZV does a great job. Leave Astro at pillar box  zoom  your TV settings  I get full picture with Subs and logos and its perfect only problem each time you off the tv u have to reset back but its  far smarter then silly asstro ! If only our tv was like that  stupid box ? Thank god our TVs actually do a great job as far astro's feed is concerned if not Astro wld look wworst then pirated VCD ! rclxms.gif  rclxm9.gif

But when I want to watch HD channels, I need to revert to old settings? OMG! now need 2 remote in my hands.... rclxub.gif

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...

dun be ridiculous. 40" is big screen.

with stretched mode, your Rooney height is 6'.
with pillar box mode, it's still  6'.

I think you guys got perceptive problem..lolz...

SD channel can actually be braodcasted in 16:9 ratio, one example is german's free sat channel DW-TV, this channel is in 16:9 + SD, so astro should get proper 16:9 + SD feed from History channel network
*
tvb jade in hk also doing the same things....
digital version of jade (not hdjade) are transmitting in 16:9 aspect ratio...

maybe zoom just plain sucks thats why astro remove it i guess..but yea, according to the poll there is some who likes to watch in zoom. but well...

majority vs minority.... notworthy.gif
surely majority wins right?
But astro should just keep that "zoom" mode....
because someone really needs it....

In simple words:
Closed Caption - You can turn on/off subtitle by pressing subtitle button
Open Caption - Subtitle is always there
*
channels with Closed Captions on astro (as what I know) :

Astro Ria
Astro Prima
Astro AEC
Astro Wah Lai Toi
Astro Vaanavil
HBO
AFC
CI
BIO

Most of them are astro in-house channels...

emks... Hallmark does not have CC.., it is Open Caption...
The subtitles are always there... same as AXN, SD Nat Geo, Discovery, Star Movies, Star World, E! so on....
