iinm there isn't any digital feed for MP channels, that's why Astro have to ingest from analog source

looks like RTM channels in Astro are from digital source

hi guys, want to ask

does Wah Pack comes with Zhi Zhun HD?

I always thought that Zhi Zhun HD is an HD counterpart of WLT, but not sure if Wah Pack will come with it?


another thing is, if I were to customize the packages, the HD services option is unavailable, so does that mean I won't able to watch HBO HD even I have chosen movies pack? notworthy.gif

No, sorry to say that Wah pack is not come with Zhi Zhun HD, reason? This is the sales tactics for those viewer who want HD quality to upgrade to higher package (super pack). Same thing go to if you have wah package wanna add movie or sport package, you only get SD channel, HD channel is not included.
*
called the CS today, they said if you have selected "HD services", then any HD channels of the selected pack will appear, eg. Movies pack with HD services, means HBO HD can be viewed.

Zhi Zhun HD is not available in Wah Pack, because that belongs to Dynasty pack, and Dynasty pack can't be selected in Wah Pack, they only "release" WLT as an individual channel in Wah pack

if want to have "premium" TVB content, then either have to subscribe to Superpack 3, or custom build Dynasty pack+2 mini packs, of which the pricing is not so attractive

quite a way to rip money I guess when it comes to TVB contents

I really want Cinemax HD and Fox HD, since this two has a lot of shows that I'm interested to watch
but their current SD quality is worst than terrestrial quality, which reminds me of the cinema quality VCDs in the olden days. doh.gif
really potong steam watching in those lousy quality doh.gif
change to the new PVR better
your old Byond dec only accept one specific model of ext hdd, which is hard to find.
*
laugh.gif the CNN, Phoenix channels, are among the worst ever SD channels being seen

worst still, these channels are in letterboxed, which when you stretch them to fit 16:9, you will get the feeling of rather watch the PPS version if available laugh.gif

NJOI users are not at fault if they are using the newer Zapper decoders( rebranded from Byond).
Those older users are so ignorant. Most of them are old and don't fukin care about MPEG-4.
*
cannot just blame the users, because we also hardly see Astro put in any effort to initiate the "trade your old decoder" campaign, they just continue to sell their new Byond package while hardly tell anything regarding the MPEG migration to existing older decoder users.

I remember that was one of their intention to re-list the company on KLSE, in order to grab funding to do decoder change in a large scale, however now almost 2 years has elapsed, bayang pun tak nampak, internally, the company cut cost drastically in last year, so that we can see the holding gross profit increase in the recent annual report rolleyes.gif

I've noticed that TVB Classic is in 16:9 widescreen (but 4:3 letterboxed here).
*
only for select few shows, dunno what's the reason behind though

but at least we now know that the original TVB-Classic feed is in 16:9 ratio

PS/ just know that Japan will roll out the first ever UHD FTA broadcast in the world soon, meanwhile, our dear ass teruk, still offer 576i in 4:3 at a premium price yawn.gif

Can but u cannot use existing astro decoder. Must buy 3rd party decoder like skybox, openbox etc
*
I know that one for sure

my question is however, does thai satellite got any free to air contents where no need to use any smart cards, just need to buy supported decoders will do?

also, do we need to adjust the alignment of the LNB? blush.gif

want to check with you guys

anyone of you subscribed to Wah Pack and have an active AOTG account?

if yes, want to check with you, can you watch catch-up shows from Shuang Xin (Ch 324)?

I am having this issue, cannot watch catch up from SHX, but can watch the live streaming
