I think we ALL should do a group online protest for this to Astro... on their facebook page and any place to get their attentions...

We should setup Blogs, twitters and all other social networking to get their attention on this matter for them to enable HDMI on their Astro decoder....

HDMI is a connectors standard with video/audio... and most newer tv, receivers and such surely uses HDMI input/output..

I think if ppl purchase new led tv with ONLY HDMI, they r kinda stuck/force to subscribe to the HD channels..

I'm force to upgrade to Astro Byond PVR bcos they discontinued the Astro MAX PVR that I paid RM550 initially for the useless box... so many features was missing from the Byond PVR and yes, I too do NOT subscribes to HD channels..

What is Asiabox ?? My family mostly watch HK cantonese channels... if given a choice, I WILL unsubscribe to Astro anytime..
