my only complaint is commercial break every 10 mins during live F1 race. BBC HD can do it live without any commercial break why cant star sport and ESPN HD.

You may be better off buying a AV Receiver (AVR) depending on your budget.

My setup Astro (HDMI)      > Yahama AV (HDMI) > TV
              Blue-Ray (HDMI) > Yahama AV
              etc

One single connection to the TV from AVR.  Non-hd content is upscaled at the AVR end.  TV are not too great with upscaling usually.

oo~~ understood your point. means to have all AV input to AVR, the it powers up the speakers, as well as video to TV.

any recommended AV receiver with tight budget of perhaps around RM700??

thanks!

You should know about BBC is publicly funded TV thus it has no advertisement in all BBC channels:
QUOTE
Within the United Kingdom its work is funded principally by an annual television licence fee, which is charged to all British households, companies and organisations using any type of equipment to record and/or receive live television broadcasts; the level of the fee is set annually by the British Government and agreed by Parliament.

commercial break is ok but no need lah until every 10 - 15 mins, and sometimes the commercial break spoiled some exciting moment, sometimes u missed one part of exciting overtaking or pit incident because of the bloody commercial break. biggrin.gif

Football fans need to realise that just having a big number of channels wont necessarily mean all mathces can be shown..take the match u mention here..even if Astro have Supersort HD 3, it wont be shown because of rights and contractual reasons..even now, they have Supersport HD and Supersports HD 2..but they cant show it because the rights are held by ESPN STAR SPORTS hence it can be only shown on their channels..

I took a look in Astro's FB page yesterday and there are many Arsenal fans upset that their match tomorrow wont be LIVE but be on delayed..they are blaming Astro with excuses such as there are many channels but why not show the match? Football fans in Malaysia need to be a little bit open minded and learn a few things regarding rights and contracts of LIVE football matches instead of moaning and whining on FB pages..until ESPN STAR SPORTS set up like how Sky Sports in the UK broadcast many football matches, we are at their mercy..

I dont mind watching it on SD providing that the quality of the SD pic is on par with RTM1 at least. It isnt enjoyable to watch SD on my current HDTV as the pic quality of certain channels are really poor, including the one I was babbling about. Then who's to blame if not Astro? tongue.gif brows.gif

I don't mind the commercials but that Steve Slater is really irritating. Most of the time not aware of what's going on and his trademark "let's savour the sound of the 2.4l engine" is so annoying. I just wish that there's the cantonese commentary in the HD feed.

Oh, right... sweat.gif I was wondering, if one cannot use bigger dish than 65cm to receive foreign signal, maybe can use it to improving only Astro signal?

Indonesia to Broadcast Football Matches Overseas
September 15, 2011

Officials don’t know how the new domestic football league will be run, when it will kick off or even which teams will be in it. But one thing is certain — for the first time in history, Indonesian league matches will be broadcast overseas.

Liga Prima Indonesia, the country’s professional league administrator, signed a broadcast deal on Thursday with television content provider Broadway Media of Malaysia, which will air Indonesian football games in Malaysia on the Bintang and Pelangi channels on Astro All Asia Networks’s digital satellite network.

“[Indonesian] league games now will not only be watched by roughly 85 million football fans in the country, but we predict at least three to five million more viewers in Malaysia,” said the LPI’s chief executive, Widjajanto. “They won’t just have live coverage. They will also have supporting programs such as weekly highlights, previews and players profiles.”

The league also stands to gain new fans in Brunei since Astro also broadcasts in that country.


..........so football fans got to add another package ?! hmm.gif
