I don't think so Astro will bring in Phoenix in HD after 14th March as your mentioned because Phoenix HK already officially broadcast Phoenix Infonews,Chinese Channel and Hong Kong Channel @ new frequency @ Satellite 105.5C  4120H27500 since 1st January 2014.

Yes Phoenix HK will stop broadcast those channel on OLD frequency @ 4000H26850, but unfortunately your friend ASTRO already start using the new feed since 1st January 2014, maybe u didn't notice the picture aspect ratio are SHI.T like ever since 1st JAN ? Due to the original Satellite feed are in 16:9 ratio, but your friend ASTRO 'compress' the original 16:9 format to suit their majority customer who are still using old generation CRT TV..... and it cause those 16:9 LED/Plasma/LCD TV received SHI.T like picture quality and aspect ratio on new generation TV !!! (16:9 TV still consider new generation TV @ Malaysia ??? come on Astro we are not so out date!!! )

Here is the comparison on a exactly same TV for Phoenix Infonews Channel from SHI.T like ASTRO SD picture quality & aspect ratio against Original Phoenix HK broadcast @ Satellite 105.5C, both original 16:9 SD picture quality and HD picture quality and is FREE TO AIR channel !!
All this picture took on Today @ 17.01pm for Satellite broadcast and 17.05pm for ASTRO broadcast (Astro broadcast are 4 minutes delay compare with original broadcast)

ASTRO picture quality & compress aspect ratio sad.gif  :

My 2 cents is astro should have common sense that when viewers CRT breaks down, their next TV will be widescreen. CRT users will keep getting lesser and lesser. They should cater to majority n plan ahead.

Mio TV only has HD boxes. For CRT subscribers, the HD box will auto convert native SD 16:9 or HD 16:9 to letterbox for the dinosaur CRT TV. Just sharing.

Great!! Here they dont give a damn they act smart they fix what and how we watch! Just like they waited 36 hours for singapore to come and spot an object which maybe of Flight370 off vietnam Island!

THE PICTURE QUALITY OF MOST OF ASTRO CHANNELS IS A DISGRACE ESPECIALLY MEDIA PRIMA CHANNELS. ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, REGARDING ABNXCESS & HYPPTV, ASTRO IS NOT AFRAID TO KEEP ON RAISING THE FEES BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT ABNXCESS IS A BLUFF WHILE IPTV WILL TAKE FOREVER TO REACH THE WHOLE COUNTRY. BESIDES, POPULAR CONTENTS/CHANNELS ALREADY SIGNED EXCLUSIVE DEAL WITH ASTRO.

Agreed! I am also using another box..............beleive me their SD PQ is far better then asstro! If in another country asstro wld hv never made it. biggrin.gif

As i promised yesterday, here is the picture for Astro SD version Al Jazeera channel with and without LB Expand against Original Satellite 16:9 SD version of Al Jazeera.... Astro Al Jazeera channel become very blur and Top & Bottom are actually disappear/cut out (Miami are missing from weather forecast) compare with actual size aspect ratio from original broadcast.... and how Astro CEL channel looks like with LB Expand setting.... channel logo @ top right and bottom part of sub tittle are missing....

Taking the sad situation to promote news channels is also done by astro. Astro promoting Awani!! Talking complete rubbish but not addressing the real questions and issues! Channel 212 is reserved to chat on MH370 only! WTF is this hw u ride on a tragedy . Have the guts to open the news channels FREE to all and DONT censor pls!

The game was all IPTV problems were directed to Time,TM and Maxis who carry the cables,while astro plays safe ,they are not a direct party, the burden rests on the other 3 in the event of poor services/speed! As days went by maxis felt the heat when many terminated services

But but but it is quoted as >> The problem is that the idea is ‘operationally challenged.’
It is challenging to work with TM operationally. I think [TM] has its own challenges ― but also, it is challenging to be its customer - See more at: http://www.themalaymailonline.com/tech-gad...h.cORxcsAw.dpuf

Me in landed property wans fiber also none of the operators are able to provided even though there is a fiber junction box 30 meter away! WTF!

dang, ever since the latest update, my PVR box is behaving erratically

there's lag in changing of channel via the numeric pad
eg: when i want to switch to 443, sometimes the first number didn't show on screen but it's registered, so actually end up pressing 444 doh.gif
then have to try a few times again to get the timing right

then sometimes my PVR will reboot automatically in the middle of the show, have to wait for a minute or 2 before can watch again doh.gif

anybody experience these also after the new EPG update? hmm.gif

Kinda reluctant to call Astro for this, as most likely they'll just ask me to replace the PVR decoder to the latest one, and I got tonnes of backlogged records in the PVR that I haven't watch doh.gif

Agreed bro,there seems to be a bug while switching channels,response is slow and its fast to show " Go to Channel 200.....! " Just trying to ignore and live with it cos I hv another friend already! tongue.gif
