Yeah, there's FashionTV HD on TM IPTV. However, on demand,  TM's On-Demand system doesn't work like Mio's or Assteruk's. There's a dedicated VOD menu.

KBS updated the site info on HD conversion and removed countries launching the HD feed.....8-(

"Ask your local broadcasters if they offer KBS World HD or not"

Any slide or test ch on astro? None on mio TV and Starhub. 8-(

Yes. Just like Celestial HD. smile.gif

HIST SD is now in SD 16:9.... but not BIO & CITV SD. Other channels hopefully should progress with technology and junk 4:3 SD format. smile.gif

Might be for others, but not for Astro.
Oic. Hmmm....Starhub usually just accepts incoming feed with no conversion...looks like Astro may have down converted for those viewers with 4:3 TVs.

Mediacorp started transmitting in 16:9, like news programs are all now shot in 16:9. So for viewers with CRT TV, they will see elongated images.......

Attaching some pixs.

HIST SD 16:9
CNA Singapore feed

Unrelated pix. [V] India logo transforming to the new "prata" logo. tongue.gif

Just found out some limited info from my sources.....AETN channels are now being playout from Encompass Media Asia [in Singapore]. Measat has handed over the job to them. Here is another confirmation.....seems like measat only does signal uplinking, no longer playback.

The next on n some promo spots are in HD though. Suspect the old programs are upconverted while they start building up true HD programs for newer programs. Similar to how FX Asia first started.

Have to see if tonight's program "special forces : Malaysia GGK" or newer programs are in true HD.

@ milesandmore - a fren here in SIN was watchin 'Music Bank' yesterday n mentioned quality was very bad, VCD quality. Seems like a problem with KBS themselves.

Somemore pixs, hope Astro can change their mind. Cheers.

Have the cable TV providers in Singapore switched to KBS World HD ? Because for the Astro one, it has the HD logo too but clearly not a HD channel. For most other shows aired on KBS World "HD" on Astro, the picture quality is ok. It's definitely not HD but at least it is viewable like most other SD channels but the picture is super terrible for Music Bank. Like you said, it's very VCD quality or even worse! Music Bank HD is supposed to look very good on HD. Watched it briefly last time when i was in Seoul  biggrin.gif

The above pixs I took were from Singtel mio TV.......they just replace the SD feed with the new one and ran a scroll saying something like "You're now enjoying KBS World in High Definition offered to you at no additional cost."

Starhub is not offering the channel in HD....The channel is still SD 4:3 cut-out.

I have both mio TV and Starhub. biggrin.gif

Oh yes, they removed it but the feed is still HD.
Maybe Astro, Starhub etc. Complained about the number of requests for the HD feed which both Astro n Starhub refuses to carry.

That's the problem with Assteruk. You need to pay extra RM10 for HD channels. Even TM offers HD channels at no extra cost. Heck, if you don't pay Assteruk they won't even let you use the HDMI output for SD. TM has no such stupidity.

Assteruk's move can even come across as actively discouraging people from adopting HD...

Actually, Singtel was poking fun at Starhub, where one needs to pay S$8.5o access HD channels. (Other than Mediacorp 5 which is free to view.

If u are interested, here are the pricing plans of Starhub. Still expensive compared to Astro though. Cheers.
