QUOTE(chuppachop @ Jan 28 2012, 09:23 PM) Oic....seems like only the new players can give astro a hard knock ......or whack on their heads! Fingers crossed.  Added on January 28, 2012, 9:27 pmHmmm....didn't know that.  Actually was hoping for [V]HD to come, MTV Live HD caters for european viewers where all the premiere programs airs at late late night....dun really watch the channel.  Yea, I want [v]HD too, but MTV Live HD is quite neat too, can watch back few days old schedule on demand, and just skip to music videos As for [v]HD, only can lurk at the youtube page for the moment: http://www.youtube.com/user/channelVHD?blend=2&ob=0 lol

QUOTE(VeeJay @ Jan 27 2012, 01:27 PM) from my experience, I would strongly recommend to new astro subscribers to contact via a reseller, like those in LYN, rather than going to Astro directly, which is normally slower. I had mine fix in less than 7 days! so did my friends who went thru resellers. WIth Astro direct, normally it takes abotu 2 weeks, and now being festive/holiday season, might be even longer. Do you have a reseller to recommend?

QUOTE(smileguy @ Jan 28 2012, 06:03 AM) Astro is very greedy,it wl only add channels which wl do business with them.Most of Indian channels hv been malaysianised,airtime sold to advertisers here,so the programmes are repacked to allow this,and channels which dont allow this cannot enter its platform. Astro owns 20% of suntv.To protect suntv and advertising revenue no other channel which wl give suntv a competetion wl be allowed.The same goes with our zeetv and B4U,its all controlled by astro indirectly.This is not allowed in singapore.This is why asto has to make do with limited content.  More channels may just remain a dream in malaysia as long astro monopolises the market.Channels which can debut in two weeks in other countries takes two years to be on astro,just bcos they hv to agree to deals first!  Another thing we all can see they are not interested in adding new channels but keen to launch ABO'S,and AF all they want $$$$$$$$ thats all!! Astro wl be astro cos its malaysia Starhub wl be starhub cos its singapore,its compete and win situation there.Here just carry the ruling govt,  does that mean starhub did not singaporenized all their channels we r living in the monopoly territory...quickly do your part in the next GE n mayb things will change 4 the better QUOTE(Qash-M @ Jan 28 2012, 12:39 PM) Blame the current gov. for >current Astro. In other way, i hope ABN does better provides more better channel than Astro lineup, including HD channel.  lets pray it is there 4 real n not another failed project like JALENAS This post has been edited by skylinelover: Jan 30 2012, 02:21 PM

You can also get RTM HD from UHF, but you need a DVB-T2 decoder. Good luck finding one tho, TVs that only come with DVB-T1 are just starting to show up on the market :/
Even I don't have a DVB-T2 decoder.
They should simulcast RTM HD in DVB-T1. It can be done, Australia is using DVB-T1 for HD.
AS for ABN, I hope it publishes a channel list soon so I can decide if I should buy a HDMI switch.

Eh, I already said bye-bye to Astro in December 2010. Remember, removing BBC Entertainment from the lineup made me extremely bitter. AC Nielsen? Screw them. People in the US hate their parent company, Nielsen Media. And I hate them because they made me lose access to Doctor Who.
Also, salesman buat janji kosong.
TM is at least better, most channels not Malaysianized. But they still don't have BBC Entertainment.

I just got the B.yond HD last two weeks.. I have a question, my byond decoder is not the PVR type. Is it possible for me to attach an external HDD at the front or back usb port for recording purpose?
