if you look at that picture, with the relative size of the LNB feed horn and the dish, it looks damn small. don't expect it to be a >1meter dish.

here's a little quote from astro
QUOTE
Q: Does the High-Definition service support surround sound?
A: Only certain High-Definition channels and programmes will be available in surround sound and compatible to Dolby Digital. Customers may need to connect the digital audio output from the box directly to their home theatre system that has a Dolby digital box.

imagine hooking up the stb to the tv with hdmi (does it carry video&audio or video only?)...your mom was watching a hd show with DD5.1 (does astro support DD5.1 or just marketing gimmick about surround sound?).....then she complain:"why this channel no sound?" tongue.gif doh.gif

do you think the stb support downmix of DD?

ds830 from pace does not seem to be PVR capable

You got to be kidding! TMNut can't even support 1Mbps wants to do IPTV!
On paper it looks great only but in real life TMNut needs to throttle and shape traffic!

as usual, blame astro for being cheapskate, supplying us such a small dish, as well as Ku band instead of C band.
