Tjkbeluga 5th Gear June 19, 2012 Share June 19, 2012 Frankly speaking, I wish TV program should all be payware (at a reasonable price, of course). That way, can get rid of those pesky ads within a TV program and also can have more decent content.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13177 Supersonic June 19, 2012 Share June 19, 2012 Digital or not, your tv set must be able to support, right? If not also no use. But i cant really tell whether the programme is in digital or not digital? To me all the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bystander50 5th Gear June 19, 2012 Share June 19, 2012 Will SH replace all existing STB to digital for free ? In 3rd world commie country like PRC, one digital STB is free per household. In 1st world democratic country like US, digital STB is also free. Why ours so special ? You have to dig deeper and see who is the ultimate big boss of these content providers. I won't be surprised one day when everything goes digital, every household will be provided with 1 STB, you want more they also give you and all contents FOC. By then, the catch ... they'll charge you by per MB transferred per box for all the contents you are watching. Bookmark my post and review it again in 2020, see if what I say comes true.

TMCTR88 Neutral Newbie June 19, 2012 Share June 19, 2012 To reap the full benefits of digital TV and the high definition channels that will be transmitted, viewers may want to opt for a new digital HDTV set.

Last time I believe MTV and cable TV are commercial free.....but after I subscribed to starhub I realized that I was so wrong......the cable shows....all got commercials. These channels are paid channels right? Suppose to be commercials free right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These channels are paid channels right? Suppose to be commercials free right? Read again.... I didnt say no ads at all... What Im saying is, no ads within a TV program. In between 2 programs, its perfectly fine to have ads. This is true even now in scv. well, small exception where when 2 serial chapters are shown consecutively, they show ads at the end of first chapter.

Evillusion Supersonic June 19, 2012 Share June 19, 2012 digital TV better. quality better. then again, why need extra boxes? isnt the starhub point already digital signals? its one way of forcing pple to subscribe to one of the cable operator. But i think one can just connect it to the starhub cable point n watch the normal mediacock channel withiut the boxes. But who knows its just another way to skin the cat!

Tjkbeluga 5th Gear June 19, 2012 Share June 19, 2012 we pay for starhub cable TV. having no ads is expected Actually, it's not really commercial ads shown in scv programs. It's mostly trailers and short video programs to fill up in between programs. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
