That's what Astro said... Unless, they use DVB-S2 for SD channel...?

it is not transponder capacity problem, but more on the fact that there is no return on investment to astro by transmitting religious channels

each transponder onboard measat 3A will cost astro RM7m/year

maybe they got their own agenda...maybe next year we got loads of new channel

It'll be benifit if SD channel use DVB-S2 same as HD channel?

for sure it will be benefited to astro if all SD channels are using DVB-S2 + Mpeg4 for transmision, saving 30% on overall capacity

but astro must hurry up and change all old DVB-S decoder to byond box

OMG!!! I'm still remember when in end of 2004, they also upgrading their customer service system....
My father make the payment, but they took so long to update it.... about one month....
Until my astro automatically terminated....

And I'm also still remember, on that period, one of their representative said that they keep all of changing package request, payment update, etc on PHYSICAL FILES...

byond boxes are purposely crippled to only receive measat3/3A ku band signal, unless you hack your byond box

Dont forget more channels are needed for coming asian games, so be prepared for more WORST PQ soon.

Atleast it was watchable on certain LCD TV...

byond box can't receive C-band signal, as I mentioned previously it is programed to lock in KU-band signal only

So it's possible for Astro to unlock C-Band receive on B.yond box?

why would astro want to do that, doesn't make money sense to them

go buy DVB-S2 box from china, cheap-cheap, 500RMB only

If one can find it in electronic store, sure i'll buy...

What are the models....Please name a few.

Sony BRAVIA? Mine is.

BTW, HBO in Pakistan is delayed 30min. Our HD version is 1hour delay. Can't our HBO HD is delayed shorter than that?

Wah.. sound as bad approach. Their should run both system (old and new) concurrently and be migrated in stages.
But the worst one is their use PHYSICAL FILES as their backup.
