As suspected, the 6 sports chs currently testing on Starhub would be,ESPN, STAR Sports, ESPNEWS, ESPN HD, STAR Cricket HD n STAR Cricket Plus.

The 2 HD movie chs are HBO Signature HD n HBO Family HD. Cheers.

The movies on HBO channels always play on one another....this month HBO, next month HBO Sig, one month later, Family, then Cinemax, then Hits.....[yawn]....i no longer subscribe to them. 8-) Hence, unable to post pixs. 8-)

All in a pack makes it easier for them to sell.....looks like value for money....

I thot abnxcess is govt owned? Also depends on content provider to look at long run scenario, casting their net wider n let other operators carry it.

Heard fr my relative here that ABN is likely launching after elections....maybe that explains the silence on their facebook recently....not sure how true...

:-(

On a separate note, Australia Network has gone SD 16:9 since Thu. Mio is still offering it in 4:3 but with BM subts....Starhub is SD 16:9 wif no subts.

I dun take Starhub sports package, their in house Supersports is not even 24hrs...their in house HD Sports channel, Sports HD only operate for a few hrs each day....Eurosport not even in HD (even though the HD ch is available in Asia), NBA Ch also in SD .....they have to work harder to convince me to sign up for it.

Mio TV sports will do for now.

@ Qash-M - nice! Animax HD? Hope its soon.

Looks fun.

PMed u....

The ESPN, STAR Sports n ESPN HD chs here are the non BPL feed, the chs n scheduling are different fr those in Malaysia. So the BPL matches are seen only on the mio Stadium chs.

@ Qash-M : will switch over n take pixs later....watching Thai horror film, Dark Flight 407, on Star Chinese Movies HD now.

@ Qash M. -

@ RAMChYLD- can u post pixs of FOX Soccer HD n FOX Soccer Plus HD? Am curious how the HD chs looks.....thanks.

@ RAMChYLD - Thanks for the pixs! Looks like FOX Football Channel Plus is HD while FOX Footbal Channel is SD.

How does the preview channel works (for channels you do not subscribe)? You can still view it full-screen?

On Starhub, we get a black screen reminding us to subscribe to the channel in order to view it....likewise for mio TV....believe the same for astro.....Hypp TV allows full-screen viewing?? Pls. enlighten.

Thanks again!
