Yes finally u  shed light on a matter which needed some confirmation. The so called dirty strategy, Astro is famous for that,so many channels hv been blocked this way by astro ! Have money wl travel,how true ?Although starhub does the same thing but it gives variety not like Astro,here we are doomed!We pay so much for so little !SETANTA Sports too is now under Astro's control on channel 811 !

My comments are totally OT but I felt like saying it.

One thing I hv to say about ur comments, u hv been always very consistent in them. While I don't agree with most of what u say, I have to admire ur tenacity and ur vigour in always painting a negative picture of Astro. For that I salute u...

Bro how can I paint a negative picture,of course  the bottom line it shld be factual, I cannot  simply accuse someone right, as I hv said its all meant to improve things and the intentions are good,maybe one day it gets thier attention and then things  change and evryone is happy and pleased.

U're right of course, and this will further take the discussion OT, so if need be let's continue via PM. This is my last say on this matter.

However, u need to remember something, Astro is not a charitable organization, their main responsibility to their shareholder is making profit. The fact that there is exclusivity is not their fault. There are authorities that shd oversee that. Exclusivity/special deals/fringe benefits or lock out of competitors are all ways for companies to maximize their chances for survival, however, the correct authorities shd put checks/balances in place to minimize the impact to the people. Still even in advanced countries, it happens. Its no excuse, but it happens. In some countries they legalize such things by calling it lobbying etc...but in ours its not. So companies use other means. Someone shd have said no before.

There are some "priviliged" companies that get away with a lot worse. Its a fact. Blaming Astro for is seems like barking up the wrong tree. They do not owe it to anyone to do it, however, its the relevant authorities that hold the licenses rights that shd ensure that the commoners like us are not screwed.

Still smileguy, I admire ur resolute posts and u hv been unwavering in ur comments towards them. If only the right people had stopped these before it got this far (in my opinion not Astro) it would have been better. Not perfect becoz there will be still complaints, but better.

SD channels on astro are still bad on most latest TVs,as someone here said try setting gamma to 2.5 or below,and it does improve PQ. nod.gif

Gamma shd not change PQ the way u want ie it does not make SD any better or anything. Gamma is a change of how the intensity of white changes with different levels.
