I still not clear, normal astro b.yond also carrries both SD and HD but uses single LNB.

Link doesn't work...

Your petition plays into Astro's hand. They want to change to MPEG-4 - and get people to subscribe to the HD channels - but they are just waiting for the numbers to make sense before doing it nationwide. Stock availability, installation and customer support training must be there before they can migrate everyone to MPEG-4.

The reason you're playing into their hand is that the petition doesn't give the customer any benefit. Simply migrating to MPEG-4 doesn't guarantee quality. Unfortunately you do have to get technical to explain the reason for the migration. IF Astro uses the same bitrate for SD channel transmission AND uses MPEG-4 codec, the quality of the SD channels increases two-fold.

EDIT: You did mention the bitrate on your petition. What is the current bitrate for MPEG-2 SD channels?

Dude.. right now only get 12 signature for this petition. How astro gonna hear it?     

behind the decorder, the is a network port which looks like an ethernet port for internet connection.
Can this be used ? can we browse internet or play internet videos / audio through the decorder.. maybe youtube etc
just courious..

Thank you

It would be like this:

Petition is useless because they are a monopoly.

Yesterday some salesgirl from Astro called me up to promote their Astro On Demand promotion.

I told her it is still expensive after the so-called 50% discount.

I should have yelled at them to improve their existing service before looking for more profits. Real bloodsuckers 

I think the subtitle is from SDI Media.

That's why people need to know benifit from SD & HD channel in MPEG 4 @ H.264 than MPEG2 (SD) now...

Could someone please advise if watching astro beyond on an LED tv. will it be very different on watching it on a LCD tv??

...is an LCD TV that uses LED backlighting rather than cold cathode fluorescent lights (CCFLs) used in traditional LCD televisions. This has a dramatic impact resulting in a thinner panel and less power consumption, brighter display with better contrast levels. It also generates less heat than regular LCD TVs.

Radio Television Malaysia Builds Massive HD Studio Complex with Grass Valley Production Technologies

Radio Television Malaysia (RTM), the state-owned public broadcaster which owns and operates 31 radio and two television stations, has returned to Grass Valley™ after almost a decade to place its largest order to date: a large number of high-definition cameras, production switchers, and routers for a new all-digital HD studio complex in Kuala Lumpur that will be completed in November 2010. The new HD studios are the first for RTM and represent a major win for Grass Valley in the region as its equipment will be used during the production of high-profile international events.

To support several studios and control rooms within the multi-level facility, RTM has purchased 24 Grass Valley LDK 8000 Elite multi-format HD cameras, five Kayak™ HD production switchers (four 3 M/E models and one 3.5 M/E model), and four Concerto™ Series 64×64 routers to distribute all types of audio and video signals throughout the facility. The equipment will be used to support five RTM locations: Auditorium, IBC (Kuala Lumpur), Studio 3 (Seremban), Kuching (East Malaysia), and a flyaway kit.

“Malaysia is one area of the world where Grass Valley has seen increased business over the past year, as broadcasters there migrate their platforms to high-definition in anticipation of a national conversion,” said Jeff Rosica, Senior Vice President of Grass Valley. “RTM understands the value, flexibility, and reliability that Grass Valley production technologies provide.”

RTM has built the new facility in preparation for full-time HD broadcasting beginning in 2015.
