HDTV and HD Channel in Malaysia
There is no HD Channel in Malaysia yet! Not even on Pay-TV like Astro, Fine TV and Streamyx IPTV. You guys suck! Seriously, High Definition TV or HDTV’s price has been drop. Just a few K and you can get a HDTV for yourself. It’s cheaper than a projection TV last time.
My house recently just convert all analogue CRT or “Box” TV into LCD TV. No more thick and square TV already. Living room’s projection TV went dead again. Dad doesn’t want to repair and so got a new LCD TV. But it sucks watching the local Satallite TV Astro on it. The people in a widescreen 16:9 TV look like fatass. I’ve rather have 2 little bar beside the screen to get a 4:3 than watching some fatass on the TV. It seriously looks ugly. Maybe a little zoom in will look good, but it maybe pixalate since it’s playing on 480i.
Got me? Even without HD resolution, the Astro (Malaysia pay TV) set top box doesn’t even has a component output, only S-Video and Composite. Boo.
When will HD Channel come to Malaysia? I heard that there’s trial for HD channel in Klang Valley last year, but nothing much has been said on the newspaper. People in Singapore, Hong Kong has already enjoying HD quality video on their TV while we still watching squared, stereo sound quality movies on our TV.
So far, the HDTV at home is used for downloaded movies on the computer, web browsing in my room and DVD playing in the living room. I need a PlayStation 3 to play Blu-Ray. Hahas. But I got no money.
By the way, is it HD is not so high demand for Malaysian? I think there’s still many TV noobs out there. The ministry of ICT must do something already to promote HD.

Astro scaled down the bit rate to save bandwidth… so currently it is not DVD-like picture quality as what they used to promote. SUCK big time… I know… get yourself a PS3.. you could get it for around RM1400

Well,
It is expected that the HD programs in Malaysia will be commenced in 2009 by RTM (only in Kalng Valley)

Hell yea, I was swearing like you about the lack information amongst Malaysians about HDTV or HD or whatever to do with it. I am still puzzled as why alot of people still buy Sony Bravias or Samsung LCDs and say, “wow this TV looks clear hor” without realising Astro/free-to-air is of shit quality (on HDTV anyway). I mean fuckit people, you’re all noobs, and made me feel smart. And fuck the ministry of information, astro, tv3 etc., for fuck’s sake. And yeah, fuck Sony, Samsung, LG, Philips etc for selling their piece of HDTV LCD shit craps when the masses doesn’t even realise that this country ain’t showing HDTV shit. FUCK all.
