Wow.... astro are really stepping up on hd... could this possibly explain their lame worldcup dancing commercials? LOL

Anyway.. if all this is really true (AXN, Starworld and Fox with a Celestial maybe) i'll consider forgiving them for the torture they put me thru on those commercials

I think is not free. If we buy new byond PVR, astro already charge that cost to us. One time fee is more affordable to me.
BTW like your say, better wait for official announcement from astro.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Hmm.... Hope someone could correct me if i'm wrong.. obviously by my number of posts i only comment on topics that catch my interest.. Latest being the starworld HD advert yesterday that turned this whole topic into a cyclone for the past 12 hours...

1) AXN HD -> advert has been playing several times for the past week .. It can't be a slip up .. Seems to be confirmed for 16th June.. Take note ADVERT HAS NOT BEEN PLAYING ON STARWORLD but AXN. Watchers of HOUSE, LOST, CSI, Leverage, NCIS or 24 most likely have seen this ad

2) Starworld HD& Fox channels -> Is this really a slip up ? I only saw it once (but then again the axn hd adverts were spread up quiite far appart so we can only confirm this within the course of the next 3-4days)

3) PVR -> i don't know where you guys got this info. but a new pvr ? Really? i remember reading some where that one of the functions of the usb slot were for you to connect exernal storage for pvr recording? So why charge? Sorry Astro.. if you start charging for this i'll just buy a seperate recorder just to mess with them... 20 + 10 .. come on la astro.. Subsidy going down, you want to up the price of your service? get your act straight.

Hope Justin updates his blog soon sleep.gif;;;

both HD and SD

3 new HD channels - AXN HD (CH 721), Astro Zhi Zun HD (CH3 310), a Chinese general entertainment HD channel and FX HD (CH 726) will join Astro B.yond’s HD line up, bringing the total number of HD channels on Astro B.yond to 8. In addition, Fox will make its debut on Astro’s Variety Pack in standard definition. All the new channels will be on air on the 16 June 2010.

Flashforward started of cool.. but turned into something like a paranoid version of the later half of Lost season 2 sleep.gif

i couldnt get any information on how many hours we can save in 320GB HDD? and can we connect the HDD to our computer or other media device to watch it? since we cant watch the program in the future if we unsubscribe the related package..
*
Yeah.. you can connect it to your computer ..

(sorry just being sarcastic) Astro would never prohibit such a thing as it would leed to piracy i assume

All the recorded data are encrypted via the Astro sim card which based on NDS.  Unless you're able to crack the encryption code.  tongue.gif

My money is on someone cracking it within the first 3 months tongue.gif

But its kinda a pointless bet since anyone could actually rerecord it using an external PVR
