Astro trying to lure more customers to subscribe to dynasty package ? Too expensive !

Anyway, it is good for CNY to have free zhi zun. Where you get the news from ?

By now everybody knows that facebook is not going to shutdown with 500 millions subscriber.

I subscribe to Dynasty packages and only watch Wai Lai Toi & Zhi Zun (only Three Kingdom), don't waste my time on the other channel in the packages. I love to watch AOD new serial release on the same time as in Hong Kong. Look out for CH 338 HD on 3rd February 2011.

Any source for ch 338 would be in HD? What are the programmes would be shown @ ch 338?

Is it temporary or permanent ?

It should be only temporary for the CNY period, saw the advertisement on Zhi Zun the other day.

Omg just found out astro in SD really sux on LED tv.

338 eh? chinese's fav number

hopefully it will be available for all, not only Dynasty package subscriber..

btw anyone got info of Msia Open semi/final repeat on 831? missed it on HD

Which brand?

channel 338 is NOT on family package !

haiiii.... we have been waiting until our neck also becomes very long and longer.

the same goes with discovery HD.

It seems the available bandwidth used up for astro first already, so no more new HD channels.

Astro SD is perfect for CRT only, some say Plasma tolerates thier SD too but I have not tried cos too few Plasma owners around. I have to set my tv to auto view to compensate the difference each time I go from a SD channel to HD !

Follow your link on the article:

Come Celebrate Your CNY With ASTRO
By Loong Wai Ting on 29 Jan 2010 at 4:13pm

Homegrown artistes like Nicholas Teo, Lau Wan Yin and Chen Keat Yoke will also be at the Xia Men (Taiwan) Chinese New Year Special 2010 on the 13th and 14th February, exclusively on ASTRO Hua Hee Tai (Channel 333). Not only that, viewers can also enjoy many concerts and musicals featuring Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Sammi Cheng, Kelly Chan, Sandy Lam, Super Junior and many other more.

Be sure to tune in to Channel 338 for endless of fun and exciting programmes.

The article was for last year and last year Chinese New Year was on the 14 February 2010. This year Ch 338 HD starts on 3rd February 2011.

So, ch.338 in HD for B.yond & SD for else?

Astro SD sucks on all HDTV regardless of brand and regardless of LCD/LED/Plasma and regardless of how you tune your HDTV. Period.

There is a saying....garbage in, garbage out. But this does not apply to High Definition TV. With HDTV, it should be amended to:

"Garbage in, EVEN BIGGER garbage out" so stick to CRT if you are solely on Astro SD.

Good point ! For HD just watch NGC/HBO/SM HD and compare them with LOST on AXN HD,see the difference all HD is not actually HD !

How much would it cost if I add hbo to my subscription ?

Try changing yr LED TV pic display setup details AND watch from the "recommended" viewing distance.
