I wonder RTM will broadcast world cup 2010 in Full HD format just like what they did in Beijing Olympic 2008?

Well, I think RTM did not broadcast any Full HD before including Beijing Olympic 2008. Because if u r watching normal Aerial without Astro is analogue signal including Astro decoder as well.

Maybe you think that there is a logo HD displayed at the top right then is HD. but actually is not, is down conversion

No, you are wrong, I did watch Beijing Olympic live broadcast in Full HD format in 2008, it is DVB-T broadcast, as you may know, RTM has been broadcasting TV1, TV2, MuzikTV in digital format few years already.

The Beijing Olympic Full HD broadcast was awesome, no ads, superb picture, that's why I wonder will they do it again for world cup 2010?

if you watch at astro
rtm rtm2 is like watching VCD
once u switch it to analoge
i seem like getting full SD 720*576

I don't think so. There's no adv RTM will broadcast in HD. During Beijing Olympic 2008, there was adv

If u have digital tv tuner (USB or PCI), you can try scan the RTM digital frequency. Just connect your normal UHF antenna to it and scan the frequency.

They've been running this HD signal for quite few years already, so how do one participate in the test ? do they select area and give the DVB set top ? free to air HD sound nice, if only with equal quality of content

my wife is working on production broadcasting....she said out of few broadcasting station in Malaysia, RTM is the one that have the up-to-date broadcasting equipment....

no wonder their channel look much more better at my LCD compare to TV3 and etc..

yeah... unfortunately their programme not to my taste...
TV3 also i just watch MHI every morning b4 off to work...

This should go to South Africa section?

Can someone confirm this? I want to buy a tuner if this is true

Come on guys. These content comes at a fee to As*ro.
It costs them hundreds of million just for the rights for World Cup content in Malaysia.
Sometimes in last year, TM and Ast*ro were fighting for the World Cup content rights.

Business sense:
If RTM were to have it broadcasted, who would subscribe to As*ro Sport package.
If RTM were to have it boardcasted, RTM would have to pay a fee (not small fee) for the content.

RTM will telecast 24 matches live and 11 matches will be delayed telecasts.
The question is whether they will do HD or not. & I think the answer is no.
RTM is licensed broadcaster for WC 2010, off course they pay a fee to FIFA but not as much as Astro because Astro pay for all 64 match live & all in HD

No they have to pay As*ro as As*ro has exclusive right over the content.

well look at it this way... Rtm managed to broadcast olympics in full HD

This is exactly what I am wondering as well, because I also watched the RTM HD broadcast of the 2008 Olympics. I actually still have the RTM HD Olympics programs inside my TViX (with DVB-T tuner).

RTM never (cannot) announced the HD broadcast because it was based on trial run/testing of their DVB-T broadcast setup. So I think RTM did not need to pay for the broadcast fees, and hence they have to do it quietly.

So I am hoping RTM will do the same for this tiem FIFA WorldCup. Can someone pls confirm this??

I can't check now because my outdoor/rooftop UHF antenna and cable already koyak. I hope someone can confirm this before I rush out and purchase a new antenna and fix the cable as well.

Pls... anyone???

Thanks in advance.

I just did a DVB-T full scan from 175Mhz to 855Mhz, still no HD channel, sign...

Do you mean RTM broadcast olympics on 1080p? I thought just only 720p/1080i.

1080p...? like watching blu-ray movie...
