Aiyah, I thought I miss-out something HOT for the past 2 weeks ....
Never mind la, let's chit-chat more .... so hopefully like the "BluRay" topic, which has just hit 100 pages and now V7 threat
hmmmm, don't know what "Blue" disc can talk until like that  ..... I'm very sure this topic can talk more since we got so many channels

May be we should start more detail on those HD channels in detail ... let start with the NatGeo HD.....
This evening, after watching so very detail & so very enlargement on those home insects, my wife was so surprised why I suddenly eat so little, somemore with green face .....
Bloody hell, those insects are soooooo real, never in my life see so fine detail, really feel like vomit

Not bad for a weight-loss program 

Those cockroaches skin kilat-kilat one like after polishing, and those hairy legs .... so detail that I didn't know cockroaches can be so "handsome" looking
Now look at my bed also feel a bit uneasy after soooooo detail magnifying those bed bugs .....

Anywhere, it's really awesome, truly HD experience man!

[SIZE=7]Astro exploring more targeted advertising using set-top box data

ASTRO is exploring the possibility of providing more targeted advertising solutions for its clients based on audience and measurement data from its set-top boxes.

Speaking at Astro’s Future of Advertising industry event on April 30, Henry Tan, Astro chief operating officer of strategy, content and marketing, said that the current audience measurement system did not accurately reflect and measure the performance of multi-channel providers such as Astro, as it was “designed in an era of free-to-air (FTA) television and favours FTA TV stations”.

“We are prepared to invest but we need a fairer system to accurately measure TV viewership in a multi-channel environment — a measurement tool that is robust and ready for how TV viewing has changed in Malaysia. Without numbers, the media plan can’t win the battle of scrutiny,” he said.

Asked if Astro would charge for the audience measurement data, Tan said Astro had no immediate plans or details on the implementation of the technology or the terms of usage for the audience measurement data.

He added that Astro was currently focusing on its soon-to-be launched personal video recorder and video-on-demand services.
Tan said Astro would be launching its personal video recorder or digital video recorder (DVR) services this month, followed by video-on-demand services later on. It launched Astro B.yond high-definition (HD) services in December last year.
He said Astro had the ability to fuse all data sources into data insights — “who is watching what, when, at which address and what their shopping habits are”.

However, media agencies, while welcoming Astro’s new initiative, expressed concern that the audience measurement data services would be offered at a premium.

“While the initiative is a positive one for the ad industry, media agencies’ profit margins are currently under pressure, hence the concerns of additional overhead costs in obtaining new audience measurement data,” said Vizeum Malaysia CEO Andy Miller in a phone interview yesterday.

It should be software update for current byond decoder to be capable for recording function using external hard drive.
I hope Astro won't charge for this feature 
The different with your DVD recorder is it can schedule recording time using EPG & might support HD resolution as well.

Might be using IP network. If you notice, byond decoder has a network port. They might utilize it by connecting it to your broadband router. Just my guess  Theoretically it's capable.
btw I don't want it as I foresee it's invasion of my privacy 

You need to ask TallJustin for this one, waiting for him to come back 
& you need to remember pendrive using FAT16 file system which file size limited to 2GB only.
Worst thing is you must use 'Astro' brand hard drive    but I hope not

Mine was 250GB while my parent was 320GB... Might record final match only.

guy .. just want to know .. does normal channel looks better using this beyond ? or just same like before ..

AXN HD....could be Astro or now TV in HK….

Since AXN HD is free till Jul 31, likelihood Starhub would package AXN HD with FOX HD, FX HD, FOXCRIME HD & STAR WORLD HD into a possible ‘Entertainment HD’ group -- Hence could be a Jul/Aug launch date across Asia.

Just like ‘Education HD’ now comprises of History HD, Nat Geo HD & Discovery HD World.

Cheers.

Dont know whether the following news is related to all 380 EPL matches LIVE on Astro or whether this news has any relation to Astro at all but take a look..
ESPN HD Channel

Channel 101 has better PQ than 801 & 119. You're right then, from 101 to 801. 119 PQ is terrible.

currently i am very annoyed & irritated with Astro promo of the World Cup, with the apek at the coffeeshop, the makcik, the macha doing some feets stunt etc,..

Meanwhile, when is the record function is enabled? Should be anytime on this month...

I wonder if Astro support record video with bilangual/multiple audio & soft subtitle (selectable) on one video?
