TV on-air presentation update

Today, me and my brother Hafiz checked Astro's channel list section and saw that most SD channels' EPG names are now longer than it was. They have longer names and also some are in full just like how Astro's HD channels did. Only some channels retain their existing EPG names, but I believe that they will change to their new EPG names soon. Previously it was just in a few characters and I believe it was only used for Astro's decoders (set top box) before the debut of the Astro B.yond-branded decoders and also SD channels.

We also checeked the FX channel on Astro where on the bottom-left side of the screen it says that FX will have a new look in 5 days, that is on 1.1.2014. It will replace the existing blue and yellow logo look and maybe the slogan The Edge of Entertainment.

Yesterday evening, I checked that some programmes are broadcast in 14:9 letterbox. They are Mimbar Pencetus Ummah live broadcast on Astro Oasis (simulcast in HD on Astro Mustika HD) and Tangisan Bulan Madu drama on TV1.

Earlier that evening I've also watched some of 30 Minit Ustaz Don live broadcast on TV Alhijrah. At the end of the programme from Hypp TV channel mosaic I saw that TV Alhijrah HD production endcap had some changes where TV Alhijrah's logo design was changed to the current one same as the one used in its station ident and also the "Terbitan" at the top was removed.
