Malaysia so far broadcasting DVB-T1. And well, you're right, FTA here is full of Gomen BS propaganda. But some times there's good stuff. And when there is (I.e. Wild Wild West some times back) the quality is even better than Assteruk SD and with no rain fade problems too. I think T1 here is transmitted in Dolby Pro Logic since the TV show Dolby symbol and say it's stereo on digital channels.

There is announcements that they're going to officially launch with T2. Just that the previous imbecile info minister rice keeps causing delay to the launch!
Thing is, I'm all for a new 3D HD TV now. Cannot stand the LG TV lagging on analog input anymore because I'm actually using the TV as a HD3D monitor for my consoles- the tuner is just a nice extra. Even sometimes HDMI will lag... And I figure if I have to get a TV since here is no such thing as a 32" HD3D monitor (no tuner screen) with four HDMI ports (and thus don't need external switch), might as well future proof it with a working T2 tuner...

But can we expect Cheeky Saber to better than Rice??? hopefully la

But the thing is, the W804A series have made it to Malaysia. Although the price isn't cheap as per all Sony products...

Dunno, but I bet we're the last among ASEAN to switch-off analogue tv for sure. laugh.gif

P.S: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Brand-New-H.../685597211.html This might do the work. nod.gif

So will the signal eventually be 1080i or stay at 576i?
I'm just waiting for hypptv to make use of the new resolution so the FTA channels stop looking like shit lol.

And that 8tv transmission looks like it's stretched 4:3? Doesn't look like proper 16:9....sigh

Full upgrades of news graphics has been done for TV3, TV9 and 8TV since yesterday.
Before that, graphics is transmitted in 16:9 but with a 4:3 safe as they was still transmitting in 4:3 in the past until quite recent update that changes graphics entirely. I do post one in the past but at that time they are doing some tests on widescreen.
TV3 taken from Tonton live streaming, 8TV/TV9 feeds taken from 8TV/TV9 News Facebook page.

noticed this in hypptv transmission for buletin 1.30 just now.

The actual transmission is currently SD 16:9 right? i mean for all media prima channels, at all times? No more 4:3?

But....my system can't handle it....it choked halfway, aint buffering issue...... cry.gif

GTX970 and overclocked I5-3570K at 4.2Ghz for all cores.......

No hardware acceleration as it uses VP9 video......My gpu sucks...... ohmy.gif

1440p also uses vp9 right? Noticed that my 6700hq cpu usage skyrockets to 25% with 1440p youtube, and up to 35% with 4k sad.gif

Every time i look at my cpu usage on high res youtube videos. feel like upgrading dry.gif

VP9 codec on YouTube uses up to 8K resolution.
Officially, stream YouTube videos in H.264 is only up to 1440p only.
But you can still get the 4K/8K resolution if you use third party software to download the YouTube video.

So vp9 starts only from 4k...hmm...

QUOTE(JohnLai @ Sep 2 2017, 06:01 PM)
.....6700hq IGPU HD530 supports vp9 hardware decoding....your low CPU usage 25% (1440p) and 35%(4k) is the indicator of hardware decoding....

Speaking of such high quality stuff....guess there is no hope for Malaysia digital broadcast, all current FTA players don't give a damn about broadcast quality.
*
I thought only kaby lake onwards supported vp9. Guess such high usage is due to chrome being a cpu guzzler when it comes to media. Wonder if its lower with Edge. Will try later.

I guess we need to be "grateful that thry are actually going with h.264 and not mpeg 2 for their compression sweat.gif

4k h.265 tranmission in malaysia....year 2030 maybe?

Has been 16:9 since last few weeks. News for TV3/8TV/TV9 only officially switched into 16:9 yesterday.

Maybe the new multimedia minister can do something about the lackluster progress on the transition to digital....

Does anyone know if this means that Unifi TV will also be getting the HD transmission for RTM channels soon?
