  1. austar digital is a total con. they have done nothing except add a few crappy channels. we always had a digital picture and analogue sound and thats what we still have and no wide screen movies, no box office movies and no multi channel news or sport.

    I am complaining to austar by email and will continue to until the matter is fixed. I believe their promotion was misleading and unless i get some satisfaction ie digital sound via an optical or coax outlet i also will complain to the ACC.

    we shouldn't have to purchase an extra set top box

    I complained to the Dept. Of Fair trade in NSW. It achieved nothing except a lame phone call from Austar.

    The more complaints the better.

  2. Im no expert but I'm fairly sure Austar can't use Digital surround sound. Check the showtime site out as it mentions something about sound.

    We don't have a new EPG yet and dunno when we will.

    The new controls that let you use interactive features for Sports Active, Sky and whatever else aren't out yet and are supoosedly "coming soon" but so is Christmas :blink:

    Fox Box Office is "coming soon" too.

  3. Ok, so what your saying is that I will receive the same quality mpeg2 signal that I have recieved since I signed up?

    It was the hype surrounding the "digital revolution" that swayed me to run out and buy a HD compatable widesreen projector so that I could watch the 2004 season with the same quality I have seen on FTA digital TV.

    If PQ will not improve under the "new" digital......then what a scam.

    It should have been marketed as more channels and interactive features and thats all.

    Mmmmmm class Action?

    The Truth is out there!

    Cheers

    E & E

    If you ever spoke to someone from Austar they've always said the PQ would not change.

  4. I was told by Austar there will be no WS and they have never advertised it.

    That cant be right. I think that the person you spoke to has no idea. I dont think they would put another version of each channel on the satellite that is in widescreen on Foxtel, in 4:3 just for Austar viewers. A total waste of bandwith. You cant trust what they tell you over the phone.

    I hope you're right but she seemed certain there would be no WS and she also said seeing Austars already digital there'd be no change in picture quality.
