Bigfoot TV is in Measat 3a already.

so what types of 3d glasses i need??

if i have 3d hdtv..no need a 3d glasses?

Why there no hd for fun channel

Or make both in SD (downscale) and HD both?

smileguy - Thought of getting Asstro beyond but now I think 12 HD channel not worth it. My current ONE source seems better value - internet.

Nevermind only 12 HD channels. The fact that true VOD is not available to 99% of the country is already a deal breaker (Believe me, if they switch to true VOD then they can free up over two dozen channels of satellite bandwidth that is wasted showing the same show looping back-to-back 24/7. Plus for IPTV they have infinite bandwidth to add more channels, possibly making many new channels that're only exclusive to Astro IPTV subscribers and not to Astro satellite subscribers. And of course, almost no rain fade).

Someone has to convince MCMC to mandate that all IPTV system must work with all ISPs that offer enough bandwidth (i.e. Time, Yes, P1's newly reintroduced W1ggy 10Mbps package and UniFi). If they don't none of them can ever break even. So far the only IPTV system that works with all ISPs is DETV, and they're only of interests to Chinese expats or ex-Malaysian-expats-in-China who move back from China and readjusting to life in Malaysia because almost all of their lineup is China and Taiwan channels.

i like more learning channel in HD..but that not free...

Yes, lucky guys !!

Yes spot on, Sky is News Corp and so is a chunk of Astro. Anything with STAR, SKY or FOX in it is all Murdoch.

Not everything in Malaysia is government interference, this one is corporate. Murdoch has a running battle with the BBC in the UK as he feels they take too much market share from Sky. When Astro were petitioned by the Expat group in KL on why BBCE had gone they said it was 'lack of quality', at the time BBCE was showing State of Play, a multi Bafta award winning drama with film stars James McAvoy and Bill Nighy - widely regarded as one of the best TV shows of the last decade (and adapted into a Holllywood film). They replaced it with BIO and a Britney Spears documentary, the excuse is just laughable, if they'd said it was too expensive or something I might have beleived it.

Im seeing the calls for Sky News to be kept permanent is growing louder and so it should be bcoz of the quality of the channel..surely Astro are considering it since they have given the channel a 4 day preview for an event that only takes one day..are Astro testing the waters on whether this channel will be popular among viewers? Of course its popular..its something different to what we already have and based on Astro's FB, its already popular..

Again though, a question for all the sifus out there, which South Est Asain or even Asian country actually carries Sky News or Sky News HD on their network? Coz my understanding is that Sky News is actually intended for viewers in the UK and Ireland? Are there any countries around our region that has it? I dont think even Singapore has this channel..

Rohana continued, "At 50-percent penetration of Malaysian TV homes, we are an integral part of viewers and listeners’ daily lives. This is a privilege that Astro does not take lightly"

NO competitors

Folks, need your help here. I'm contemplating to move to Byond.

Wanted to check, on the normal Byond Box, can I use both output, at the same time meaning the hdmi and Video-AV.?

The reason I'm asking I dont plan to take up the Astro DVR, but would like to record some programs time to time. Currently I'm recording using a VCR, yeah yeah I know its out dated technology!   

SO on the new byond box can I continue the same?

Thanks

BTW, is there a real necessity to change the coaxial cable from the disc to the box? WHat are the cons using he same?

They have another option too, right, where you only pay RM5 monthly and you get the HardDisk, not sure how much is for the equipment? Should be in the website

I agree. later news HD channel should be fine in news package.

I'm still waiting if all channels will be in HD before I putting my hard-earned RM20 into it. Might be in the next couple of years before it materialise.

Only when Assthrow sends more satellites to cater for more bandwidth.

Whatever said, Sky News is not Astro's taste it wl be gone tonight! Thier reason wld be that the preview did not attract many viewers!
