if u r refuse, wait to somebody post picture here...hehe!!!

i found this in faq which i think is incorrect.

there is such product. but it'll cost a bomb.

I don't understand - what relevance does the TV output have with respect to your ability to change channels?

To link to second TV.

I don't even have basic AStro yet!!!

And my plasma tv only have 3 HDMI....PS3, XBOX360, WDTV Live, DVD, and now Astro Byond. Where to connect?

You can buy a HDMI switcher, that should help.

hmm really temptinglah but most of the content in HBO or Nat Geo or History we can find on the NET with 1080p somemore hehe....

dunno worth it or not coz i just want to watch ESPN specially EPL in HD glory...sigh...

might need to downgrade current package...i want MTV and cartoon in HD too !

World Cup in HD should be good.

but then..world cup time usually will go out mamak and watch while yumcha-ing with a couple of friends

Well better wait for their 'price revision' and new channels then. The pain will come sooner or later so why need to feel it now when benefit is quite little.

i spent 2 years looking for an optical - coaxial converter. No such luck

This one ah dude?

Hmmm eagerly waiting feedback from those that order early abut the quality..... waiting for my salary increment next month hehehe then will order astro HD

yeah masa a few years ago, it was mahal.

now finally can afford. my old HITB onli has one optical and one coaxial.

thanks for the info.
didn't know that there is such product.

I saw the demo at Astro centre. The new decoder is really small! Even smaller than the current one. Picture quality was nice too. Already applied for one, let's see how long it takes to arrive here!

i hope they lay their hands off these hd channels from censorship (referring to HBO)... else its a big waste... censored hd channels =__=

astro just call me regarding my application for b.yond... they said they can only process next tuesday and will call back next tuesday...

any of u guys who apply for b.yond get the same message?

Should be good


Can. Quality will be better than s-video, component, composite as you'll be using HDMI. No more analog.

Haiya. You want to swap ur max out? You can pay rm 80 and keep it. You can keep old smartcard but u have to pay more/2nd account. If I'm not mistaken the new smartcard cannot use on old box.


No charge for dish swap. It would be in 1080i.

No installation fee but yes add rm 20 to current sub. If u have movie and sport package in ur current sub, u can see hbo hd, supersport hd and espn hd.

lol. about the size of remote? it is 65cm. 5 cm more than current. Of course bigger is better. Typical maximum for Ku is 120cm

Yep. But signal strength depends on your dish alignment, LNB unit sensitivity, dish reflection, cable quality and length. Insist that the technician use spectrum analyzer to align ur dish. I might write a guide on my blog regarding rain fade.

Dun worry you can change the STB settings to 720p and it will deinterlace for you.

Cannot. No point of getting new box if didn't subscribe to HD.

Depend on the source program. If it has, it has.


You can use black custom bar or you can stretch it into a fat man. Your choice.

No downmix. U need tv that support dolby or home theather system to hear dolby. Dolby is available on hdmi and spdif. If you didn't have the tv or home theather, you can get stereo through hdmi though or the red and white out.

composite/rca.

Output? it got component, hdmi, spdif, composite. usb and ethernet is for input and other thing....



p/s: I got a unit with me. Wanna see the video and pic? BEG. Muahahahaha. I'll post if I'm not lazy.

congratz...

so bro.... hows the 1080i HD demo??
