Actually, this is not a good news at all. Do you know why the History HD suddenly has subtitle while the others don't?
This is because the channel is not HD. Its just an upscale from the sd feed, since it is now broadcast in 16:9 view.
There are alot of pixelation. This also explain why the sd and the hd are broadcast simultanously. WTF Astro. Trying to cheat us again.

FYI, astro is the provider of the feed for History, CI and BIO...

Technically, astro was able to crop the 16:9 feed to 4:3 BUT most of History's tv shows are NOT 4:3 title safe, they have no choice but to letterbox it instead. Notice the History logo was within 4:3 title safe?

Actually, I was complaining about the History HD channel being replace with an up-scaled History SD channel. Not about the new History SD broadcast feed.

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.

I'm sure the current History HD is not and HD since there is no HD logo beside the channel logo. But I have to admit, some of the programs are decent thought, the older programs are obviously up-scaled.

Anyway, out of topic..
Astro on the go suppose to go online this month. Basicly you can watch all of the channel you subscribe online. But, right now the channels are still the same as the trial ones.
