YES!!

hahaha Im very proud for the fact that we have all 64 matches in HD... but not proud for the fact that our NT are still far away from getting into WC...

but Nvm that... in time... things will be better...

i don't think so, i'm still enjoying watching hd channel particularly MotoGp and La Liga coverage, so far so good to my eyes....

Congrats, cause i believe you have the slightest advantage of broadcasting technology better than us but we are not less than equal to your development in terms of providing entertainment with quality.

This has brought up Astro in line to compete with broadcasting companies in SEA certainly not in Europe.

But we are 1Malaysia.

Hye there Singaporean
I'm from JB

Yesterday I was half awake when the 9.30pm News on Channel 5 was on
I was sooooo sleepy but if I'm not mistaken i heard a news piece about Singapore will carry out testing on 3D Television broadcast nationwide
Am I right it's 3D television ur testing? I heard the testing would take place between 6 months to a year..
Coz I heard that there are probably just 2 broadcasters in the world that carry 3D programming..something like that
If what I heard is true than u lot are very lucky
Ur country want to test something that is not easily available and not yet established in the world
But ur country are willing to take risk and test it out in nationwide
Here in Malaysia, IPTV, something that is widely recognised and established around the world is only available in certain areas
N that also is only available to areas with high GDP
Anyone can find any news on the Singapore 3D development, ur welcomed to provide info
Coz Im sure I was at least half awake and wasnt dreaming

BUT 64 WORLD CUP MATCHES LIVE IN HD - PROUD TO BE MALAYSIAN..hehehe
coz Singapore not sure get to see World Cup or not

Yes, it's thrilling to see world cup in HD!

You can get the 3D info here…..not particularly excited….typical MDA attitude - just wants to be 'first in the world' and leave everything else half baked…..SD here is still not in 16:9…..HD5 was launched 2 years ago but less than 8 hrs of primetime programs are in HD….no further follow-up on Digital Terrestrial also.

Thanks for the info..
Very interesting pages u gave there
So its certainly not only just an Astro issue when some HD channels are repeating programmes
Singapore has the HD5 channel for 2 years but only 8 hours of primetime programmes is bad
I would rather have repeated programmes than paying for nothing at all
So Malaysia and Singapore seem to have broadcasters and government that have the same mindset
BE THE FIRST IN THE WORLD - But leave everything else have baked..or just be the 1st in the world just for the name and fame sake

First in the world is always good. At least name can go down in Encyclopedia, Guinness Book of World Records (not Malaysia records, WORLD records), Wikipedia, etc.

People in the US all know where Singapore is even if they have not met a Singaporean or went to Singapore, but they have zero idea of where Malaysia is unless they have met a Malaysian or have been sent here on business trip by company. Think about that.

As for digital, at least you guys have digital oredi. RTM not yet even launch digital over here. Their excuse is that they want to one shot launch nationwide in 2012, but now they're quiet about it and instead the furor is now on digital radio...

What are you talking about? Malaysian gomen don't even care if they're last in the world. "Not fair to compare to other countries", "we're special", etc.

Less than 8hrs of HD programs kinda suck for a 2 yrs old channel... but things cant be easily change... High Definition is still at it's development process in TV Broadcasting around the globe.. of course American are now enjoying it at the best possible way but lets face it.. they always like that..

Be smart before buying. byond HD fee is RM20 per month, so in 1 year = RM240.
If the promotion only at selected store, then you might get cheaper price elsewhere.
But if at any shop, then its worth
