some AVR can perform upscaling, yes

Look for the ones using Anchor Bay technology, like the new Pioneer VSX-920

if you are asking the guy who is writing and testing the software, perhaps it would be good to be a little polite.

In fact if you don't really know who you are talking to, does it give you a license to be rude?

just turn up, I guess.

yeah, all 5 of them, hooray!!

Singtel/Starhub joining up with Resorts World means that the broadcast will probably be to a cineplex where more people can view it.



not enable 3D support = cannot watch
DIY 3D glasses = cannot watch

cross eyes and adjust distance, maybe eh

You should perhaps read up about the 3D technology they are using with broadcasting

wait, weren't you going to join Astro and write software for them?

if people boycott Astro wouldn't it threaten your job?

Excellent. I hope he gets the job, then everyone can yell at him, too

although, I would be worried about the attitude. perhaps being "on the inside" will moderate it

I bet that looked awesome... seemed to have been made for 3D

URL does not work.

Anyhow, does it come with glasses?

what 3D glasses?

when can we expect closed captioning?

can we stop it with the juvenile name calling? It doesn't add anything to the conversation.

1. this is known fact, and it's due to licensing
2. if you feel it's ok to view them illegally what's the difference between this and downloading a torrent?

you can view it as long as you are paying for the service... the license does not extend beyond your service duration.

if you buy a DVD or CD, you can make copies and view the copies. But after you sell the CD or DVD - surely it's not legal for you to keep the copy for watching or listening?

Astro byond is only 720p/1080i, so a HD Ready TV would suffice. However, if you are getting 42" i would recommend getting full HD.

so let me get this straight... kapultek wants to take his byond smartcard balik kampung; but it only works with the new box, so the box and power supply and remote have to come along as well.

Then there's no HD or HDReady TV kat kampung, so must use the composite cable on the normal CRT TV, because the byond box does not have a SVideo output. Does the CRT have a component? otherwise, it may make sense to bring his TV balik kampung together with the byond smartcard, box, power supply and remote. dun forget the TV remote also...

but wait... how are you going to listen to the DD5.1 sound at the kampung?

happened to me. I was asked to reformat the HDD; although I can't remember the procedure. Call tech support and ask.

Anyway reformatting it solved the problem of the freezing although I lost some recorded programs (GER v ARG, for one...)

I am not too fussed about that though - since my main use is for pausing live TV

Why are you watching, then?
