Nice. I hope they can do it to all the movies on Fiesta HD.

I know this thread is normally reserved to point and "discuss" all the bad things about astro, but I wanted to reflect back on the last one year of Beyond HD broadcast.

Highlights:
Sports....sports... sports....and more sports!
For sports fans, its been a great year. Not perfect but great nonetheless. World Cup broadcast was fantastic. PQ was great, AQ was nice, with good LFE from the drums. EPL was fantastic. Astro Supersports HD seems to be have slightly better PQ than ESPN HD (not sure why) for the EPL games even. The broadcasts of Spanish league and Italian league seems to be of better quaility than the EPL that leads me to believe that the source feed might be the culprit. Commonwealth games was nice to have in HD, and I believe one badminton tournament. Asian games not being in HD was a shame though.

Movies:
StarMovie HD was a surprise and welcome addition, at least for me. The thing that I liked about Astro was the temporary channels that are festive based. The Hari Raya programming was great fun, the Deepavali as well. The current Fiesta HD programmes are really underrated. Example, Raavanan Blu ray was released only on the 24th Dec or so, yet Astro could source the HD master from somewhere (most likely SunTV) but its still a feat. 3 Idiots as well. Shinjuku Incident as well is a fairly recent release. The concerts are nice, hv not caught all of them so cannot talk about the quality as well.

Others:
The other channels are pretty good. FX HD although highly critized here, seems to show some decent serials and sitcoms.

Lowlights:
For PVR users, the series recording is still not complete.
I wish they would extend the sports HD channels at least for Friday/Saturday/Sunday to cover more Italian and Spanish League and more EPL.
Subtitles are still not available for the HD channels (I understand that this might be a technical limitation)
Of course, more channels would be welcomed.
HBO HD (I know this is not Astro) is definately stretching and upscaling a lot of its material. This one has me confused (I have not researced it yet). StarMovies seems to use at least maintain the correct aspect ratio and their stuff seems correct. I was under the impression that HBO owns part of StarMovies, but I could be wrong.
Astro's systems upgrades really take too long.
PVRs seem to have higher than normal HDD related failures, I lost one and some of my World Cup recorded matches...but thats life I guess.

Disclaimer: I don't work for Astro, this is my reflections. I doubt Astro would read this and not work on improvements. There are still ways to improve. Its been an eventful year for HD broadcasts in Malaysia IMHO. I look forward to a better year all around with more channels and more variety to the HD programming.

HBO HD sucks ... even their commercials is NOT in HD

Thanks bro, at least you help me in reducing my days of activation.. 2 and 1/2 days.. hehehhe

Haha,what?Can explain more,interested to know
