Probably yes.....but without using H264.
The HD channel for TV1,2,3,9 might use MPEG2.
Majority of astro customers (including njoi and subsciption) decoder doesn't have the capability to decode H264.
This must be taken into consideration.
The second possibility is......astro might wanna charge customers a fee for the HD broadcast.
I find it unlikely for astro to broadcast two separate channels for SD and HD for RTM and Media Prima channels for free.
Astro doesnt have enough satellite bandwidth for this to happen. One must gives way to the other or astro has to charge some subscription fee if astro really dual broadcast the channel.

TV1,2,3,9,NTV7,8TV,TVI = 7 channels,  rolleyes.gif  no way astro gonna broadcast 14 channels total.....

I think that astro has support H264/MPEG-4 since introduce of byond decoder
Astro is using H264/MPEG-4 for their HD channels and MPEG-2 for SD channels
Decoder which doesnt support H264/MPEG-4 should be the silver decoder(old) and the black decoder(the first decoder)

After changing from my old crt tv to new sharp tv, as my observation, there are 8 HD channels that without HD subscription.(3 are paid, the others are all in family pack)
GO SHOP, ASTRO MAYA HD, ASTRO XI YUE HD, GO SHOP CHINESE(which launched recently on channel 318), GO ASEAN, Channel M HD, Oh!K HD and Golf channel.
Is it true?

CH118 Go Shop is not in HD
It just 16:9 SD

My astro 1 month notice just ended today. Not able to watch the shows recorded on my PVR anymore.

So I'm wondering the same thing. Can I disassemble the decoder/PVR unit to get at the HDD inside?

I believe that Astro encrypted it with special file format that can only play on PVR
