Damn!!! I really hope to see some Indie movie like Wristcutters: A Love Story (2006) or Once (2006)... Haish~~~~ Now, there no reason for me to add Movie Pack~~

Miotv spore has two channels for Sundance,one normal which is far better then our Sundance and the other is Sundance Movies On Demand,thats where u can find movies u look forward to.For now there is no need for you to take Movies,just hold on save !! brows.gif The pricing in spore for the whole entertainment pack with 2 Sundance channels, Sony Pix,Sony Thriller,Fox Movie, and many more which we wl never see on Astro's stale platform for only S$21 !!.

Yup, not as good as old white / red "star (*)" symbol appearing & simple matter of moving thru all fav ch either way! Worst of all, NO guide at all in manual! sad.gif
*
The saddest thing compared to earlier ones ,in the event u enter a wrong channel number say 833 the older one wld go to the nearest channel but this silly one acts smart by displaying no such channel.Imagine the nuisance for old folks who hv to memorise every channel number!! doh.gif

Hi...fyi I'm also using Samsung LED TV and my feeling is juz the reverse of yours!!  rolleyes.gif

Probably yr TV settings are not properly done...one item you shld set is the GAMMA value setting. Do set it to +2. Got this advice from an audio-visual forum.

Also & frankly, it's no point getting a Full HD TV cos Astro & other parts of the world are still transmitting at only 1080i which is an interlace mode. Even 720p is good enuf. Save yr $$$! NB. Get a Full HD only if yu intend to watch lots of TRUE 1080p movies fr Blu-Ray Discs or yr own recordings. whistling.gif

Another point is that if you wanna watch SD progs on yr flat screen TV, it's no point getting too large a screen size cos it wld only make the lower resolution view worse! Try get one size that works for both Astro HD & SD... nod.gif

My old Philips 29in (100Hz) CRT TV can also display almost same clarity/sharpness of the HD progs that Astro transmits on its HD Channels!!  thumbup.gif

So to those who hv yet to invest in flat panel TVs, pls do some research and then yu won't be FRUS after subs to Astro Beyond...ok? icon_idea.gif  tongue.gif

Thanks,that was a good lecture for all, I did learn more things,keep it coming pal, these little things do help in making TV viewing mor pleasurable! thumbup.gif

Hv yu all noticed that some HD Ch are NOT always showing HD fare but actually only SD ones? Eg Lifestyle, Sundance, Discovery World??

Fraud? Or my eyes were deceiving me? Need 2go for eye exam? whistling.gif

Infact most of the stuffs are upscaled to HD,u can spot a lot on AXN and LI!! yawn.gif My opinion so far so good HD can only be enjoyed on DWHD and NGC flex.gif

Endemol Sport Brings Dublin Super Cup to 160-Plus Territories
By Kristin Brzoznowski
Published: July 27, 2011
LONDON: The inaugural Dublin Super Cup is set to air in more than 160 territories around the world, through agreements signed by Endemol Sport, in combination with its partner rights agencies.
This reach is due to a combination in-house rights sales to more than 100 territories in Europe, Middle East, Africa and the Americas. Sales in additional selected markets were secured through partner rights agencies: the Kentaro Group in Europe and Central and South America and Total Sports Asia in Asia.

More than 20 new broadcast deals were recently reached for the international football tournament featuring Manchester City, Inter Milan, Celtic and Airtricity League XI. New deals include Abu Dhabi Sports, Sky Italia, Viasat Sport East, DigiSport Romania, Orange Sport France, Gol Televisión Spain; Astro Malaysia, Beijing TV, Guandong TV, Jiangsu TV, PCCW Hong Kong, Sky Net, Starhub Singapore; ESPN Brazil, Sky Centro America and Sky Mexico, among others. In Ireland and the U.K., Sky Sports feature the event in 3D and in High Definition. Elsewhere, broadcasters will all be accessing the HD World Feed.

Gregg Oldfield, the managing director of Endemol Sport, commented: “These latest deals further underline the international appeal of this tournament and we are excited Ireland and Dublin will receive such great exposure. The fact that over 160 territories are broadcasting The Dublin Super is testament to the world class status of the clubs taking part.”

When it comes for selfish reasons they can add 3 HD channels at one go but when looking into overall customer requests they arent interested.The public must be blamed for making AF a success.!? As they say 10 make noise but a 100 support ! hmm.gif

Nope..dont ever see this coming to Astro..most probably astro will take some of the content from this channel and put it on their own rojak networks..there are better sports channels astro can go for rather than this channel about sports celebrities lifestyle..and still astro dont go for those better channels doh.gif

Anyone follwoing the events of the London riots? Its time and incidents like this in the world that is making me mad that Astro are reluctant to add Sky News to their channels..now in the UK, Sky News is having the best coverage of all broadcasters there bout these riots..but here we cant get to see that coz Astro doesnt think that the no.1 broadcaster in the UK is worthy to be on their network.. vmad.gif

What more can I say then to just agree with what u said, Astro lacks channels of real class but they think they are giving us the best since 1996!! tongue.gif Those channels of class usually are not keen to do business with astro,thats a fact. yawn.gif whistling.gif

I subscribed the 3 mini's.. wanted to add another one for RM5, the CS don't allow said is only available next month. But bro Phonenix said I got conned. Anyway no biggie here as I can ring them up next month to order.  smile.gif Another thing I want to confirm, that CS said later I can decided to drop some of the packages (ie. movies, AOD etc..) in my Sp3, but I doubt it.. anyone can clarify?

When u drop channels from SP that means u wl go back to normal pack which means u wl start paying HD fees ,PVR fees above ur package pricing.SP is bundled NO optional selection allowed to remove but add on can. flex.gif

Hello all, first time posting here.

Been happy with my Astro for a long time, got B.yond shortly after it was released but recently I am missing a few HD channels including ESPN HD like Dickong here. Also missing HBO HD, Nat Geo HD and History HD. The channels are listed there, the info panel has the showtimes but there is no sound or picture. Is there a known fix to this or do I have to give customer support a call?
*
First thing are u subscribing those channels,U wl get only HD channels corresponding to your pack. If u do and did not get those then u cl CS.
