so it looks like what bro cam said is 1/3 true..

he said AXN HD will launch next month..
so its true..
he said FX HD and a Chinese HD channel will also be available next month..
So that remains to be seen but im hopeful its true..
If true, it would make the total of HD channels to 8?

eh..FX HD should go under which package eh?
The programmes are like what ar?
Hpo not into movie or variety or metro package la..
I dont have them..let it go into family package plzzzzz

Yes, I also realized that. Before this, they always show  the static image (it's dangerous for Plasma user, it can cause Burn-in to their panel  )

YAY!YAY!YAY! Finally!!!!!!! Thank God that actually the 2nd provider at SEA was Astro.... 

Thanks Astro for bring us the AXN HD. Hopefully next you will bring us Discovery HD, Singapore a;ready have that for such a long time, from the first time since Starhub testing their HD Channels.

Hopefully the other 2 channels that told by Bro Cam will be available in June also...

But I don't have so much confident for FX HD, but for Chinese HD, yes, I think it will be available.... 

for those living in flat(called this way in UK and its commonwealth countries)/condo/apartment(this is what american called their flats) with east facing window, can hide satellite dish behind window

still wanna know what happen to discovery HD that astro promises to us

mmm.. Since when Astro promises to give us Discovery HD?

Me too, didn't subscribe to movie package, if they put under there ....

Btw, who is Cam er? Is he with user ID Cam40729?
I got my Byond through him, very fast indeed!
Didn't know he is Astro staff, thought he is electrical shop salesman

I think FX HD is similar like AXN or the hallmark channel la.. the programming is not really amazing..

but I saw there is the Chappelle show(is that the rite spelling)... man that show is filled with cursing and adult stuff... I wonder if its going to be available here...

lol things people do to watch satellite...anyway kudos to Astro for bring AXN HD...still looking forward for Discovery HD

Probably this is the new Astro PVR feature...

" The PVR, coupled with an improved electronic programme guide, will help to ensure there’s always something for subscribers to watch.

The PVR has a pause, stop, rewind and forward functionality, and subscribers can programme ahead what TV show to record. Rohana says the PVR has a hard disk storage of 160 hours.

On the differences between the latest PVR system and its predecessor, the discontinued Astro Max, she says: “This will be the first deployment of a new kind of PVR with many of the world’s largest broadcasters to follow Astro throughout 2010. In order to bring this next-generation PVR, Astro has fully licensed all the best-in-class technologies to deliver the world’s best PVR experience. This is a key difference to the Astro Max.”

Rohana says Astro is also working with all its channel providers and “fundamentally shifting its infrastructure to ensure that the PVR accurately records the programmes you want and provides detailed information around them.”

Another difference from the Astro Max system is the push functionality, which can be used as an up-selling tool for Astro.

“If I know you like CSI, I can download on a push basis the whole Season 200 of CSI and put it on your box. When you come home, I can say: ‘Hey, guess what? I have the whole Season 200 of CSI. Do you want to buy it?’ So, either you decide what you want to record, or we intuitively try to cater to what you want,” she says.

Astro is planning a major drive to change its relationship with customers from a transactional relationship to “a real relationship,” she says.

“We will understand what you like. If you like Oasis (an Astro channel with programming catering to Islamic values) and you plan to perform the haj, we’ll download a whole series on ibadah haji onto your box. And there’ll be a message that says we’ve downloaded this series of 12 episodes and asks you whether you want it.”

The HD set-top boxes, to be introduced by year-end, will only be for HD, but an external hard disc for PVR can be added. Next year it will introduce HD/PVR set-top boxes.
