Also, please lodge a complaint to that irresponsible installer.

we're in the same boat.. im waiting since thursday but still not getting the HD service activated.. called astro CS many times but not helping at all.. i wonder what take them so long

U need to speak to the team leader or manager on duty. Talked to those low level Assthrow CS will not help you.

Okay so I just called them, and they told me it should be activated within a 24 hour period.

@stuffx, just HD, or you can't view anything at all, like me?

Both types with same function or which one is better?
Astro installer will provide which type to us?

Thanks.

The later 1.

ok.. i will give a try..

none when using HDMI port.. i can view via video port only.. meaning the HD service is not yet activated

I experienced the similar incident with you before. I got the HD service activated almost immediately after talked to higher level CS via phone.

Is it just me, or bitrate for final AF9 concert looks less than HD? (ch.188)

Sony Bravia TV.

I notice that AF in HD today is not as sharp and vivid in color compared with previous assthrow live show like those shown on ZZ. Nevertheless, it is still much better than Ria channel rite?

Sure is. Question is, when will we have permenant HD malay channel?

Not enough bandwidth at the moment I think. Assthrow may use up the limited bandwidth to introduce Indopek and charge extra.

Sorry for asking about this once more, but prior to activation, is it normal for the TV to not detect any signal from the decoder? As in the HDMI cable is already connected, but the TV fails to recognize the source, and thus fails to display anything at all, apart from an error message.

Called Astro, and they're just as clueless

My decoder displays this, "C 101" and I can't change the channel or anything.

C101 = channel 101.
U mean your tv screen is totally blank? How could the installer leave without properly install the set?

Have u tried to connect using video port instead of HDMI port? In my opinion it looks like they don't activate ur HD service only, which is happening to me rite now

We'll have to wait until astro have enough bandwidth and all productions houses upgrades to hd and a mindset to put text in 4:3 safe area...

I honestly do not know what the installer did, or what Astro is trying to do. I was sleeping when the installers did it. My parents were monitoring them. And apparently, they left just after saying that it'll all be good in an hours time.

Yeap, channel 101. But I can't seem to change the channel. It sticks to channel 101, but the decoder receives the signal from my remote (The LED blinks, so yeah).

I'll try to explain this in the best way possible. You know when you connect your PS3 to your HD TV via the HDMI cable? If you do not switch on your PS3, nothing would appear on your screen apart from a message that's like this "No source detected/check signal" (This is on my TV, which is a Samsung LED TV model). After you switch it on, only then the television receives information from the PS3, and the screen goes black, and there you have your PS3 menu.

Right now, all I see is the screen that I get when I connect a PS3 that is NOT switched on yet, to my television.

I hope you get it.

Wow.. all the hype, and their service is as poor as this. Each time I call them up, they'd just tell me this, "Oh.. it'll be alright in about 24 hours"
