sorry but i can t find any info as to where people said FOX SD will also be available.. what is the source?
if true then is FOX SD same as FX HD?
More interested in the new channels compared to PVR.. Astro will repeat the same programmes over the next 2 years anyway..

Based astro facebook, It seem FXHD will be under preview channel.
So, Fox only in HD and no for SD. Astro 至尊HD / Astro Zhi Zun HD will be under dynasty package.

Assstro maybe use the soft word like "compatible" to say that "other HDD might not work". My Intel told me that they tried with other WD 2.5" HDD model but the decoder does not recognise it, except that one particular model.

QUOTE(THEALB10N @ Jun 1 2010, 04:30 PM) Their FAQ is quite interesting. You can swap your astro max box for the new PVR for FREE, and you don't have to pay the MYR10 recording fee for the first 12 months. If you don't want to lay a second cable to your new PVR, you can pay for some device which (I assume) amplifies the signal or something. However, it costs MYR300.  I think I'll stick with my byond box and my max STB (I cannot lay another cable, don't want to pay 300MYR for an amplifier nor 10MYR a month for what I can already do for free). There's not that much on HD worth recording anyways. I do miss the pause feature though. I am with you here on this. Most likely will get me a recordable media player and record the cr@p out of it and not pay a dime

i think it's reasonable to roll under preview since Fox is a debut channel for astro subscriber.. normally that's what they do right when they introduce new channel? after that only will available for whatever package it sits into

If I know it will be like this, sure I will wait until June....

Actually what different between WD 2.5 with WD My Passport AV 2.5? Both should be same right. This post has been edited by minimize: Jun 1 2010, 04:54 PM

However no official confirmation as yet on whether FOX SD is coming..any source please? This post has been edited by dxjb: Jun 1 2010, 05:10 PM
