i think i will only regret after the june world cup ... coz :

1) repeats after repeats @ natgeo & history
2) i dun do hbo .. most of the movies they telecast i have seen oledi
3) singing fish (tuna) .. even the bloody commercials are repeat repeat repeat repeat, the one who is in charge of programming at astro, the board of directors, ought to be shot & shot & shot & shot & shot & shot & shot in the u-know-where REPEATEDLY every fifteen minutes!!!!!

hmm... i thought they wanna give us AXN HD... just take beyond for the world cup.. probably gonna regret after that.. hmm.. but I dun think so la... cos the decoder looks cool n  the remote too.. all the menu is better at least in my opinion.

I think they will add new HD channels after World Cup... but even after that people will still be complaining wanting new HD channels...

its a sad but true scenario of us MALAYSIAN.. always complaining..

yup...hdmi ( the only things connect between beyond and my tv)....toshiba regza...Or do i need to set anything at tv?

do I have to give my decoder only when subscribing to byond or will the dish need to be returned as well?

I'm staying at a rented house so the decoder is mine but the dish is owned by the landlord..

allow me to rant a little bit...

last week on Friday, receive a notice from the management of my apartment, they handing out 'Pre-Registration Forms' for Astro HD.

since my apartment using centralized dish, till today still haven't got B.yond as yet.

when i saw the header of the notice, i was really excited.  but as i read on, its not exactly a 'pre-registration' at all.  what is happening, i believe,  is Astro trying to justify whether to upgrade the apartment's current SD satellite to B.yond enabled.  they trying to find out how many residents in my area would actually wanna subs to B.yond before deciding whether to upgrade the satellite or not.

i feel its a big bunch of bulls..they never carried out a such survey for landed properties before launching them. they are a service provider, and they are obliged to provide the service to all Malaysians.  The service should be provided regardless, then they sit back and wait for subs to call up & subscribe.  they cant carry out a survey like this, and then make a calculations whether its worth providing the service.

i feel, probably not a 100% of the residents will respond to the 'form' and  out of those who responded, if say the figure is less than what they expected, means i'm not gonna get B.yond enabled.

nonetheless, i will respond accordingly, cos i've been waiting patiently for it since it was launch.  was hoping to catch the WC in HD...but seems no chance at all now...

would anyone here know, what the upgrade work will involved? how extensive it is to upgrade the current satellite & set-up top box for apartment/condo?

any apartment/condo (with centralized BMU) already enjoying B.yond?

Bro Writesimply @ Fuad...

For me, you looks very PRO in television industry.... 

more speculation...more interesting...haha!!

was watching star world just now when they put on the advert

I saw the exact same thing.. Correct me if i'm wrong.. but did they really say STARWORLD in HD?

I was searching like crazy and i only managed to dish out AXN HD on th 16th of June..
