Sorry if im a bit slow..but ch435 tvn movies, what package is it in?

But HEVC licensing cost is a bomb right now.

To use HEVC, there are at least minimum 4 big licensors demanding royalty from its usage.



Instead of creating a milestone, I think Ansa would become bankrupt before it even start to broadcast.

Movies pack

CH 435 TVN Movies is in "Movies Pack".

LOL, seriously? Okay... Looks that implementing HEVC technology for broadcasters is still a long way to go.

Serious!

-MPEG LA
-HEVC Advance
-Velos Media
-Technicolor

Wikipedia entry comparison with H264 would be a good reading.

H264 era = only pay for one pool holder MPEG LA.



Way too long to go....but if thing continue.......maybe AV1 will be the future.....

You are true.
Even big company like Google also not willing to pay all 4 develop patent..

HyppTV already say, they will offer 4K channel soon in Malaysia. But, 4K channel in Measat 3/3a just only have two 4K channel. So, i think both Astro, HyppTV & Ansa would take up 5-7 years more to used either HEVC or AV1 codec to offer 4K channel. When the public 4K TV is widely use worldwide...

4k wont come 2 soon

Oh mean the same dish position, can get both signal lor..
Good since there's won't be much changes..

Anyhow, u think Ansa will use which satellite for their service? Any hint

My bet.. At least 10year before 4K channel is offered to Malaysian.. U know our country, the technology reach is slow compare with others countries

haha but latest TV is not slow

4k TV come as soon it is born

same goes with smartphone

only content wise is slow as fk

True..
But when just born.. Pricing is kinda high.. Many cannot afford it.. As years goes by.. Prices drop.. Then the mass public can afford it..
U see nowadays FHD TV is affordable, but still have many using CRT TV
So u think when will these people upgraded to 4K TV???

Becos bolehland ppl spending power is Low.

You know that it not worth to buy 4K TV for now.

Unless, you are YouTuber & can afford to buy 4K camera or smartphone that can shoot video up to 2160p resolution@30fps. But, majority in youtube views see that demands for 4K content are already acceptable. 4K@60fps is the next hype, the picture will be more smooth. Again, the problem is YouTube still not support 4K@60fps.

Imagine you shoot Malaysia travel destination & upload in YouTube in 2160p. For sure, your video will be top notch. And, the viewers can see 4K life in stunning 4K TV or Computer. For now, smartphone flagship still limit up to 2K resolution..

inb4 data quota habis..

4K standards won't be so soon..

so for now 1080p is the standard for most places

typical Malaysian "close mind"
sometimes astro forget to censored xxx scene.. just enjoy it..
not go complain to astro

Even if HyppTV starts 4K channel in Malaysia... High-Speed broadband (20mb minimum) is required so not everyone can get to watch because the problem is UniFi is not nationwide and the coverage now does not cover many places.

I suggest TM better not concentrate on 4K and put more efforts on expanding UniFi coverage to many many more places. With UniFi, at least HyppTV can be watched in better HD quality. TM belum lagi belajar cara berjalan, tapi mahu pergi berlari... tak masuk akal.

With wider coverage for UniFi, with HyppTV, at least a bit of competition can put some pressure against Assteruk.

HyppTV 4K channel? Netflix already have 4K content BUT not everyone nationwide can watch loh. What I noticed for the Netflix 4K quality when using UniFi speed of 30mb is... not good enough and I "believe" will not be as good as Satellite 4K video.

TM is expand their UniFi coverage. And, also make deal with gomen. But, the package is too high & not many consumer can afford to subscribe..

Astro staff forgot to see this scene & bypass through on-air..
