The installer was the one to blame in my case, they delayed sending my registration details to astro so CS also couldn't help expedite activation process |

QUOTE(RAMChYLD @ May 31 2011, 06:03 PM) They cannot make up their mind on whether to stick to DVB-T1, upgrade to DVB-T2, or switch to DMB-T... There's already a DVB-T1 multiplex signal at 649MHz. But recent news is that MCMC decided to launch DVB-T2 instead next year ( http://www.content-technology.com/asiapacificnews/?p=1119 ). DVB-T1 signal has RTM1, RTM2, Muzik Aktif, SuperText TV, Ilham and Panggung in addition to Radio 1-6. There's also a DMB-T signal on VHF somewhere (not sure of exact frequency, my Pontus DMB receiver won't show frequency during scanning). DMB-T signal only has RTM1, RTM2 and a bunch of radio stations including some state stations. The problem? Only DVB-T receivers in the market currently are USB stick receivers. The AverMedia AverTV Hybrid 1080 was being sold in the past, but I haven't seen stores selling it in ages. Still not making up their mind? LoL... Even Brunei has start rolling out their digital TV... If our digital standard is the same as brunei, east malaysians near brunei can watch their terrestial TV... |

Its been about 30 hours,still no activation. I wasnt at home during the installation as it was done during office hours. Only parents at home. I've called CS 4 times in total, the 1st guy (which i called last night) took all the details of the installer, and told me the latest it would be activated would be today morning. All the other CS personel were only telling me that the issue has been highlighted and its processing and all I should do is wait. So frustrated... Worst of all, I wasnt even informed about any activation time at any time before i agreed or during the installation..

Should tumpang RTM's MPEG4 over DVB-T1 platform while waiting for DVB-T2 to launch, unless RTM already stop transmitting the signal. My AverMedia STB did not detect that signal anymore since the DVB-T1 SD signal moved to 649MHz. Whether people can receive or not, however...

a new hit for HBO
Singapore – HBO Asia launches HBO HITS HD in Indonesia on First Media today, with more territories to follow soon. The channel delivers the latest Hollywood blockbusters and award-winning movies 24-hours a day in 100% true high-definition.
“HBO Asia became the first regional movie channel to broadcast in high definition two years ago with the launch of HBO HD. The introduction of HBO HITS HD clearly demonstrates the thirst for high definition content across the region,” said Jonathan Spink, CEO, HBO Asia.
The HBO HITS HD announcement coincides with a refresh of the HBO HITS channel, designed by HBO Asia’s in-house creative team.
“The refreshed HBO HITS will retain the recognisable white and orange colours of the channel but will incorporate new elements that make the on-air look brighter, fresher and more contemporary,” said Magdalene Ew, Senior Vice President, Marketing Creative & Content, HBO Asia. “The refresh includes stylish, exciting and dynamic 3D effects.”
