Looks like tm net just upgraded the Internet service today. That was considered fast<1day>
I was hoping it would be immediate. When I tested the speed using Speed test, it was about 1.6Mbps to a local server :) That confirms it.
Anyway, Astro is also upgrading its service for High Defenition (HD) broadcast. This should be exciting. You need to upgrade the satellite dish, decoder and cabling. They offer a few channels initially,but will add more soon. It costs RM20 additional for the HD service. 5 HD channels----National Geographic HD , ESPN HD, HBO HD, History Channel HD and Supersport HD.
The new decoder has new features---5.1 channel audio output, 1 USB port, 1 LAN port and 1 HDMI output.
The 5.1 channel audio is good for surround sound with 5 speakers. USB is for your external Hard Drive which can be used to record videos, taht can only be played back by the decoder. LAN port is for future use where you can plug in the LAN cable to download movies. Something like IPTV by Singtel Mio in Singapore. Wait till the internet gets faster to use that fuction -.-
The HDMI output will give you 16 : 9 widescreen format that has the original aspect ratio and not compressed to fit.
We will just have to wait until this is approved for condominiums.
This service will commence on the 19th of December 2009
