FX HD will be a preview channel when it is launched meaning every Byond subscribers will get it at first
How long the preview channel status lasts is anybodys guess
It will probably end up in the Variety package

FOX SD will probably also be in the Variety package..

But..the only one people who have given info about FOX SD coming is the person who went to Mid Valley yesterday and posted the news at the end of the V4.0 thread..
However, I have it confirmed through Astro's Facebook that FOX SD will be lauched on the same date

We need more info on the programme lineups of both channels..
As far as I can see, there might be programmes on FOX that is already available on AXN and AXN HD..eg: NCIS..

Anyone can clarify this..
Thanks

*UPDATE: FOX TV ASIA SD WILL BE IN VARIETY PACKAGE*

Is fox SD going to be in widescreen?

The SD channels of FOX, FX, FOXCRIME & STAR WORLD are all in 4:3.

Yup, if it is just those programs listed, then will have hell lots of repeats

hmm...apparently it's available in widescreen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STAR_World (right hand column)

The feed here in SIN for STAR WORLD is in 4:3....was in HK recently and the hotels had the same channel in 4:3 too. Could be a typo on Wiki.

none of astro SD channels are in wide screen format even they are available, don't know astro's reasoning, may be to appease old customers with ancient decoders

Could be. I find it strange because almost all the programmes shown must have been filmed in 16:9 anyways. Why not just broadcast them like that.

For information, WD My Passport AV 320GB is the only drive that compatible with Sony Video Recoder. Maybe this HDD is special.

I think the bare disk is this, got silk-stream technology, support up to 5 simultaneous HD stream

Maybe the power usage specifications comply with Astro requirements and whitepaper, huh

Maybe even the product ID has been hardcoded into the Byond decoder software...

Imagine that

i tried my old WD passport 160gb, it said device not compatible below recommended size...something like that..
