QUOTE(auronthas @ Aug 14 2010, 12:36 PM) What's wrong if they show upscaled in ESPN (CH812), upscaled≠HD, so please don't show it in HD channel. Talking about SD channel, sometimes, we may notice the video quality of certain sport programme are good; few are poor. IMO, showing upscaled in SD channel is more appropriate. I can understand your point of view, but enhancing SD channels for non-Beyond customers would not be in as*-tro best interest.Replace F1 on Starsports (CH813) with upscaled F1 shown in ESPN (CH812). If you were watching CH 831 yesterday around 8-9pm, the golf programme (US PGA) from 'The Golf Channel' was upscaled. Added on August 14, 2010, 12:38 pm Or showing 'upscaled' on the top left corner, just like some sport programmes showing 'recorded' .  Otherwise, who is gonna to upgrade to Beyond? My take is whether they have dedicated HD channels or not, 'upscaling' or improving all the SD channels for the Beyond decoders should be the way to go. After the much initial HD fanfare, now's the time to see if they can keep their HD customers or not. |

QUOTE(shacxz @ Oct 30 2010, 10:50 PM) haha.. yup.. it worked once i let i cool off...definitely not enough stress test during their r&d.. sigh.. also the Beyond decoder is quite power hungry even on standby mode.Most appliances uses 0.5 - 1W, Beyond decoder uses more than 10 W. If we have 100,000 Beyond subscribers putting the decoder on standby for 8 hours each night (say from 12am - 8am), it'll consume about 8 x 100,000 x 10W = 8 MW of power. Not very eco friendly at all.   |
