And this Korean drama is aired in Korean audio dub instead of usual Mandarin audio dub.

However, 16:9 commercials still in 4:3 with letterbox...

Oh ya, my favourite korea drama..
It almost a bit outdated after 3 months show this program in Malaysia..

I think you switch to nTV7 still have letterbox..

Great progress i like

I'm confused..
Do Media Prima channels on Astro in 16:9 format??
I see still in the old 4:3 format only

anyone know how to setup 5.1 surround with astro?

i just buy RT3 Sony home theatre system.

But when i try to enable dolby 5.1 no sound at all.

only stereo got sound.

Any sifu can help me? Thanks in advance

Astro Go Shop Chinese HD channel 303 is for Chinese new year only.

Astro don't care with Kids channel.
I also subscribe that pack. And don't even bother with the quality and new addition.
If want to watch new latest and updated cartoon or anime for kids. Just download from website in HD. Then put on USB and slot to TV.

Maybe Astro should make Nickelodeon & Cartoon Network to 16:9 SD.
Nickelodeon a bit ok. But CN really have a bit small black bars up and down.
CN feed on Astro same like old Fox(CH710) back in 2014.
Gambar a bit terpotong and not full screen.

oops...... I meant Astro First and Astro Best, you may include Tayangan Hebat and Thangathirai too

I don't really think is "cannot support" 16:9 la... I think is software bug/glitch that cause the issue, or it may be hardware related, not sure. But since Astro already discontinued support on legacy Astro set-top-boxes, so it is unlikely that they will provide firmware update to fix that issue. Since few years ago, whenever the customers using legacy Astro STB is faulty or having any issues, Astro will straight away replace to B.yond box, not take the set-top-box to repair or whatsoever. Astro has several models of legacy Astro set-top-boxes, it can be only certain models are affected only, examples like first generation ones, second generation ones, not sure manufactured by Nokia or Philips, I have no clue about it.

I replied to Astro and ask them which model of legacy Astro set-top-box(es) are affected by the black screen issue if the channel is 16:9. Hope I will get a reply soon.

I was just wondering... did they change your satellite dish from the old white to black?

They never change when I got my new STB

What to do this boring holiday with astro.
All channel just repeat back and make some movie marathon.

All channel include international now showing back all good show back to back this lunar new year
But astro not give free preview to watch all good channel.
Atleast bagi seminggu macam starhub singapore pun dah cukup.

Masa menang anugerah putra brand awards haritu siap bagi seminggu boleh pulak

What we can expect from astro monopoly is still going and with no competition astro won't provide you more new good HD channel and give free preview when holiday.

Even if their exclusive monopoly expire. I don't think terus 1 Mac 2017 ada company baru nak apply jadi syarikat pay tv.

Even the new company have best channel maybe diorang takkan provide best channel like AXN HD, FOX HD, ONE HD yang masih ada exclusive contract dengan Astro.

according to astro, a lot user still on CRT TV

what BS excuses is that....

One already make exclusive deal with SBS Korea.
And MBC for Oh!K. K-PLUS got nothing top rated show.

For Aniplus they can make simulcast series from top rated japan anime show. I think Aniplus will be include in HD pack.

2 questions

1. why you can screenshot astro on the go on Android Phone but I can't?
2. Seems like my relatives' astro(which is on super pack) can't watch Kplus.

Seems many channels added..
Hope it would be available on Astro platform ie b.yond

Doubt got new company apply license...
Capital is too high, return not guarantee
The last one went against astro what happened?? And its jibby crony somemore

Hmm if like that maybe international JV using foreign satellite. 
But question is will Malaysia allow the use of foreign satellite for retail households??? Won't create security issues??

Only time will tell

They really go all out with HD. Maybe Astro Satellite is next. Removing SD counterpart and only left with HD channel.
