Still using my olf RF remote transmitter But I think my remote transmitter kong liao..so coincident!! haizzz bcos no blinking LED once I press the remote... Anyway happy wth the quality although not 1080i ..I really need to choose Zoom1 in my old LG 26' TV to get better aspect ratio...but acceptable quality to my suprise.. I will take a comparative photo between my main Plasma screen & the 2nd LCD screen when I'm free..

I use my RGB video cable (which i'm not using for RGB video output now), works ok, of course i'm wasting 2 other cables (need 1 only), just hanging.

Installer come today at 9.am. After waiting for 7 working days from the day online apply.
PQ great... Sound so far no problem
Location: Kuching sarawak

For those who need to differentiate between old Astro dish and the Byond dish, if the slight (5cm) size difference and also the colour is not obvious, look at the Astro word on the dish, on the old one the letterings are black on the lighter grey background, but on the Byond dish, the letterings are white on the darker grey background.

Anyway, if you look at the sticker at the back of the dish, there will be a description on that says "Astro outdoor unit 65", which should mean that this is a 65cm dish versus 60cm old dish diameter.



And I post my Byond single LNB photo again (posted many pages back). Only one cable coming out of the LNB.

Looks like there are 12 transponders from Measat 3 in my case, all are labelled as VL - vertical low, and 5 transponders from Measat 3A, labelled as VH - vertical high... That means polarisation is always vertical, I think you can also tell from the shape of the dish (old and Byond) which is actually elongated vertically. Here are my signal screens first one showing the Measat 3, actually from 1 to 12, I only took the first page showing 1 to 8 only, second pic is for the Measat 3A, from 13 onwards and also two user defined transponders to lock on...??!!

The installer told me i'm the first customer he install. He have 5 more unit in his van ... i think Kuching only start install today..

PM sent...

so it is as it should be, as reported by newspaper astro rented measat 3A's 6 transponders out of 12 for HD broadcast, astro may rent another 6 transponders if business is picking up

the rental is very expensive, us$1.8 million per transponder for the first year

Waiting for 4 pm ~ all 4 Indiana Jones series ^ ^ connect the digital coaxial (using composite video cable only) to my Z-5400 logitech, I move it from my PC to the living room.

hey guys,
for astro beyond,theres anly 5 channels that has this hd feature at the moment right ?
what happens when i watch the non hd channels using the astro beyoun(example channel 713) will it be clear /
