Astro Paints a Pretty Picture

Astro is leaping ahead with Malaysia's first ever HD broadcast and we are darn well pleased. And so will be the bulk of HD telly manufactures enjoying the new influx of Malaysians gearing up for clarity-bursting goodness. The new service, Astro B.yond, is a staggered launch with the first HD feeds beaming to homes since 18th December 2009. The initial phase will also see a new Electronic Programming Guide ( EPG) introduced to help boost experience. Broadcasts will run in 1080i and if not achievable, at least 720p. Audio quality will improve too with Dolby 5.1 surround sound on board. Just make sure your telly has HDMI support

Existing Astro customers will get to enjoy the B.yond HD broadcast for an additional service fee of RM20 per month with a commitment of 12 months. The payment will include a new B.yond decoder, new smart card, new satellite dish, HDMI cable, new remote control and free set-up installation fee.
