Already watched the AF HD Ads.

From my view:

1- It seems like the 8th Concert are already shot in HD.
2- It also possible that the 9th concert is also shot in HD.
3- Doesn't know the the first 7 concerts if shot in HD or not.
4- Mm.. Also we see the montage is in HD as well.

Channel 59 HD,

sorry guys, looks like 5% chance. I want another HD channel on b.yond too.

So envy with those countries who had AXN HD.

hope the techniical team can learn from the glitch from the thomas/cup. if the problem still exists in AF8, can send the team balik kampung tanam jagung...thomas/uber cup problem already exist since day 1 and cannot solve at day 3...

I hope Astro will improve.

I wonder if ch124 tomorrow shows still message like ESPN HD while waiting for AF8 final? wave.gif

My opinion about AF HD channel:

1- The HD quality is excellent.
2- If someone using 5.1 Dolby Digital while watching AF, tell us here about the quality.
3- No artifacts detected.
4- Astro is ready for other HD programmes
5- Wait for other Astro in-house channels

Even if AXN HD joins MEASAT HD channels doesnt mean that AXN HD will join Astro as well...

Mmm.... Biar betul.... Maybe if the Chinese HD Channel is Astro In-House Channel, maybe it also cedok2 the content from the chinese HD channels like CCTV HD, TVB HD and so on like ASSP HD

heard someone said it is 1920x1080i...maybe there will be a time when they reduce the resolution...

when directv started hdtv, they were broadcasting in mpeg-2, 1920x1080i at around 18-20Mbps...then they changed to h264, 1920x1080i at around 8+ Mbps.. now, its 1440x1080i around 5-6Mbps =/ ... im not surprised if astro does that soon... since their ultimate goal is to squeeze more channels in one transponder and generate more moolah
*
Or maybe Astro just upgrade our old decoders to MPEG-4/H.264 compliant and change all SD channels to MPEG-4/H.264 with bitrate about 1.5Mbps-2.5Mbps.... Which one is more realible in long term?

guys, about the pricing of PVR, its way cheaper and more affordable than you guys have been discussing here. Be patient and wait for the launching next month.

Cheers! :-)

Huhu,,, need to revamp my packages to get more HD channels... Hope the PVR is affordable and not like MAX


Added on May 29, 2010, 12:18 amHope also the PVR will be charged as installment in the astro bill

Meanwhile, i've been thinking...

If we buy the HD PVR, what happen to our existing decoder and will the smart card will be forced to 'divorce' from the B.yond decoder and 'marry' the HD PVR? hmm.gif hmm.gif hmm.gif

Thank god i already have my WD Passport HDD... It's a charm!!... Meanwhile, if the PVR is affordable, i will consider to buy it.... I think the packaging inside (maybe) is the PVR, remote, HDMI and 2 connector LNB...


Added on May 30, 2010, 8:53 pmuuh... another suggestion...

i really like to watch my recorded programme in my pc... if u insist in DRM, just appoint a authorised media player to play the recorded content.. just like DRM mp3...
