Altitude sucks


I admit I only watched this movie because of the cool poster.

How disappointed I was after spending 10 bucks on the movie. This movie sucks big time. The first half of the movie just shows the 5 people arguing and bitching about each other on the plane. In the end the monster shows up looking like some paper-mache that a 5year-old kid did at school. I wish the monster would quickly eat everybody up and end our misery.

The ending of the movie was also ridiculous.

OK I'm not even going to waste my time writing a long review for this movie. See this movie at your own risk!

Introducing Malaysia’s latest IPTV Service

If you have read my last post, you will probably know why IPTV is a much reliable TV service than satellite.

So today I’m going to tell you about Malaysia’s latest IPTV-based service, DETV. I received the decoder this morning for testing. The decoder connects to the internet either using WiFi or wired. It offers component video, composite video and S-video output as well as two channel stereo sound output.

Here is a picture of the decoder.

And here’s the remote.

After I connected my router to the decoder, it detected my IP address straight away. Then the Main Menu is automatically displayed.

As you can see from the screen-shot, there’s several options to choose from.

TV Channels has a whole bunch of channels with programs running based on a schedule. The good thing is that it stores the programs up to about 72 hrs. So you don’t have to worry about missing the beginning of the program.

DVD Buffet is based on video-on-demand. Here you can find dozens of Taiwan and China drama series. Tv buffs will have a hard time tearing themselves from the screen. And the good thing is that you can pause, rewind, fast forward all the programs.

List of dramas in the Drama Paradise section.

There is a screen for you to select the episode that you want to see. The good thing is that the episdoes that you have watched is highlighted so you will not forget....sort of like a bookmark.

I have yet to explore all the programs that DETV has to offer. But looking at the useability and functionality of the service, I believe it’s going to pose a big threat to Astro.

Now, only if they have some English channels…..
