Yes, i'm still remember that.... 
it happened in 2001, isn't it?

Well said ! They can't even get more HD channels up and now they are talking about 3D ? 

bro, I guess they are keeping some channels including Discovery HD    to launch IPTV !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pay somemore ?!

Anyone notice that the Commentator in the FINAL MATCH of SPAIN vs HOLLAND in 3D channel and HD channel is different?

Also, anyone notice that some camera view is different also in 3D and HD?

whoever works at assthrow; pls try to make HDpackage available for subscribing

i mean a package like family/movie/learning etc; but a whole new package consisting of fullHD channel only

now i c fullHD i dowan SD channel already.....i dont mind having only 10channels provided its HD

BBC 1 HD

if assthrow can do this;i'll definitely going to subscribe assthrow

But I think the most important thing is to further improve the overall picture quality of Beyond subscribers for the SD channels.
I thought it can be done by switching the encoding engine?
This would definitely help to keep the customers who just bought the HDTV to enjoy better pictures with Beyond. HD and non-HD channels.

All in all, Astro should start the communication plan on what's next after the World Cup fever is over.....

1. HD Ready TV, setting  720P

Which will produce the better pic. quality?

we're in PAL Countries TV system, so it will be 576i
480i is for country with NTSC TV system...

byond box does not pass through channel's original resolution

so lets say byond box is set at 1080i, SD channels with 576i will be upscale to 1080i

for 720p setting, 576i I guess will be de-interlaced to 576p, then upscaled to 720p, a 2-step processing by the byond box

then the satelite receiver still use decorder and smart card rite...dun 4get, byond oni can play the right card that oni in ur house...if put the card elsewhere, its not function..then, with this item, people need to make new account just for car decoder itself...correct me if im wrong..

how is it illegal to view something that you've recorded from a service you've paid for?

btw, when the fifa world cup channel will be cease?

So boring.

GOOD          

It's not just only boring, but many channels PQ have been "sacrified" because of WC Channels....   

no need for rocket engineer only needed kindergarten maths, astro's capacity to broadcast can be easy calculated, astro currently paying for 6 transponders aboard satellite measat 3A, and each transponder is capable of broadcasting 5 HD channels

hav any one watched channel 830 ( WC Final in 3D ) on WC Final day on a non 3D LCD tv?

looks funny wif split screen  

Fox International Channels is going all out in promoting their HD channels. Saw the ad just now on Star World. Star World HD, Fox HD, FX HD, Star Movies HD, etc. Astro should have taken Star World HD instead of FX HD for their variety package.
