it seems to be that astro is pretty active at releasing HD version of their channels this year. Hope this goes on and doesn't stop till all channels are HD(as long as a HD transmission for those channel actually exist of course laugh.gif)

Hi all,

I may be slowpoke, but last few days when I start-up Astro TV Guide mobile app and update/refresh contents, the programme list are blank!

Try uninstall and reinstall from "My Apps" but I can no longer able to login again.

Then try search for the app in Google Play Store, it won't show up (meaning no such app). I can only reinstall it from my installed apps history list.

Is this app discontinued?

It was like that since April. They took it off the play store, no more in development...

They said starting with one HD channel as early as Q1 2014. The rest will follows. Much like Ch.5 and HD5 1st, then other channels follows suit.  tongue.gif

actually, what I mean is they should be able to go 1080p straight right, since they are only transmitting 4 channels max and not 100s like astro? hmm.gif

so the bandwidth/spectrum requirement is not really too high? hmm.gif

but yeah its most probably gonna end up being T1 720p MPEG-2 sad.gif

to get the first channel up should take some time, but im sure the rest should be quite fast. Even looking at their current shows, Im sure they have archived 1080p version of it, and not just keep the 480/576p version.

Nowadays Im using Hypptv for TV, wonder how fast will they pick up the HD transmission hmm.gif whatever it is, im sure its harder supporting their analog transmission compared to supporting the new digital transmission laugh.gif
