i was thinking to get astro beyond too. since the connection to my lcd tv would be via HDMI, i expect the PQ would be better that normal composite cables. Right now i'm using composite to my 40" sharp aquos. man.. i tell you, the PQ is not so good. haha. instead of getting a good component cable (e.g Monster).. better i upgrade to Beyond.
but, when u guys said, PQ only slightly better.. now im having a second thought.. haha |

QUOTE(eMKs @ Jan 18 2011, 11:25 AM) I subscribe to byond because I can get HD channels, not because to expect improvement on SD channels. If you have sports & learning packages, it's a good move. Even better if you have movie package. yeah. for me i'm more interested to see how is NatGeo HD, History Channel HD, AXN Beyond HD, Star Movies HD, HBO HD and FX HD.  Because i have those subscribed in my Astro. For those normal SD channel, it would be slightly better quality THAN my usual composite connection that i'm having, becoz of HDMI connection from Astro B.yond. |

QUOTE(lapaq @ Jan 31 2011, 09:05 AM) Apex, well said. the best example indeed. It's harmless lah. This is the intarweb, so we all have to expect there are douches everywhere. Not that I'm saying Jalsrix is a douche but what I'm saying is that I don't really pay much attention to all teh negativity. That is why I only commented positively and constructively. What I understand is, lots of people here, like pokemon, and Jals, have this love-hate relationship with Astro. They love it so much and yet they also hate Astro. Kinda like my neighbour back in my Kampung, Pakcik Muthu and Makcik Selvi. Every morning at 6AM, can here he and his wife shouting at each other ever since they moved in when I was about 10-yr old. Last Month, while I'm back in Kedah, they are still shouting at each other in the morning but I'm surprised to see they are blesed with 8 kids already with their eldest just got into a Uni in Australia! Talk about love-hate relationship, that is teh best example I can give.   |

Just imagine, they have 2.93 million subscribers. If they could convert a minimum 10% of current subscriber to pay an additional RM20. You do the calculations. Can't really blame them, 'coz it's all business strategies. I think they will add more HD channels once they reach certain level of 'profit'. But, please hurry up!! haha..
