QUOTE(amirsubhi @ Mar 11 2010, 05:56 PM) Well..why dont astro offer 3 of them..It just a matter of programming the decoder right..If they can provide strecth like before..Why not offer both 3 option..Some like purist with the pillarbox..Not many like zoom though....to be honest I wonder who use zoom at first place... Astro SD stinks zoom for what ? And as for me..I prefer stretch more than zoom.   I notice after upgrade HBO HD is close to SD !  |

QUOTE(torreto @ Mar 12 2010, 01:27 AM) hmmm, that firmware update doesn't really bother me since i've already using the pillar box setting way back before byond on my tv. just can't stand looking at stretch people. no offense 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 !  |

QUOTE(DarkNite @ Mar 16 2010, 07:58 AM) The only way to get Asstro to pay attention to the customers is to change the Fed Gomen. Get in a Gamen that discourage monopolistic business. Latest !! they may go private, they got no worry anyway with Gomen and EPF as shareholders, they wld ensure Asto has no competetors |

QUOTE(stimix @ Mar 18 2010, 11:29 AM) Ok now we can start ranting about astro gave bck fit to screen & pillar box but no zoom....haha Good question !! now its just back to original status, I feel pillar box and zooming using Tv seettings to fit to screen was far better then now fit to screen using beyond, the Zoom option could have been left as an option. I haven't check yet but Wondering why take away the zoom-lah? Why not maintaining it as an option?? |

Now CS day they won't bring in anything from BBC other than World News  TM should think about selling IPTV to streamyx 4MB subscribers. If they do I'll upgrade to 4MB immediately. |
