Oh no!!!! Measat 3 delay again?

I've just read the newspaper today and guess what? Measat 3 launch would be delay over and over again ! Thats just great....


Whats so good about this Measat 3?

Basically, my main desire from Measat 3 is that it will drastically improve the quality broadcast of ASTRO. As you all know, ASTRO is based on satellite to broadcast their paytv. Measat 3 plans to be used to replace Measat 1 and Measat 3 has more bandwidths to continue broadcasting channels. Increase of more bandwidths enables customers to enjoy better video broadcast quality and also, additions of more new channels for better variety. The video quality they are broadcasting now is just plain ugly and yucky...and the audio? I swear its either 128kbps or lower ! And I swear they did something to Channel [V]. One particular day, suddenly they have accidentally changed some settings on Channel [V] and the videos are so sharp ! The pictures, the text, the logo...everything is sharp ! I always thought that [V] is that blur because of the original source.....now... I know ASTRO's been blurring that channel for no reason...sucks isnt it? Now? Its blur again. At times they will slot in their videos ...they put [V] logo on them and its sharp...its weird...when they slot in their vids, its sharp...but when slot in Channel [V] contents, they purposely make them blur....idiots.


What can you expect from Measat 3?

Well, for most customers....they will not be happy...why? When Measat 3 launched, new addition of channels means repackaging of the services and indirectly, prices are going up....so..there goes your pockets :s.
