Get a full hd tv not the hd ready tv

Cannot find what to watch? Subscribe more package then

i use less bandwidth than p. About half of it.

Yo bro, on demand lah. not real time. you connect ur record box to internet or leave it on standby for it to download the video. 1 1080p channel in real time will require about 24 to 28Mbps bandwidth. So 1 transponder can only have 1 or 2 channel and if 1 satellite have 10 transponder, u can only get 10 or 20 channel. 1 transponder is about 48Mbps rate.


Hundred feet? Ur room across jalan ke? There are long HDMI available.

So the so called expert said. Do ur homework bro.

U might if it is not rg6 or old cable. If not ur signal will be very low and you will got the rain fade easily. Hujan sikit signal takde.

Sure. It might work. Does it work with HDCP? If it do let me know. Also can let us know where to get this?

Bro, u got a crooked finger lah. Did I say anything about 720p vs 1080i? Failed...

Is it? you'll be surprised in future.

I read in this thread it says:

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.

In Malaysia? You can only dream. But I saw tit covered with stars on Neo Geo HD. Hohoho

Astro to LCD using HDMI and Astro to CRT TV using composite or component. Can of course can. The analog output will display the same HD video in SD.

I'll take the picture but please bear in mind that my camera is not HD.

It has this audio output:

HDMI

SPDIF Coaxial

Stereo Red and White Composite output
____________________________________________

Pls take notice that there is NO OPTICAL OUTPUT.

They promise in 10 days from your registration. Good luck on it. Make sure the installer is official one and align your dish using proper spectrum analyzer. If he doesn't know about it, call back and insist.

If not you'll be having intermittent hd on cloudy day ( no rain yet ).


No installation cost if you swapped ur old box out. But if you want to keep ur old box, u need to pay rm 80. That's it. Dun kena conned that he took the box and ask u to pay rm80.

Astro Customer Service : 1-300-82-3838

For more info on Astro B.Yond or Astro HD, visit : http://www.astro.com.my/byond/index.asp

Forgot to say this, but if you live in condo or apartment and has centralized dish check with ur management if they oredi change it to new Astro one. If not, bug them out or ask them to allow installation of your own dish.

Not compulsory. If you want subscribe to HD then u get the box.

They only do RF wiring from dish to your decoder. From decoder to TV is ur own.

Aiyoo I should be paid for providing customer advice.

Wat do u think?

Oiyoo u sure u call them?

Nope

I don't think it got harmony support yet.

Thank you, Captain Obvious

Yep.

not even in original HD resolution? You mean 720p? or 576i? then it will be upscaled.

Nope. HD content will come from HD content. Upscale has its limit.

Think it like this. You're rent the box actually. It has lifetime warranty and u need to surrender it back when u stop subscribe just like screamyx. Read the fine print. Its there.

Can share with 3 TV actually. 1 HDMI, 1 composite and 1 component or you can buy HDMI splitter which cause about rm300 cheapest to rm800 a good one which can split to 4 TV from 1 box and all using HDMI. The only issue is getting the long HDMI cable which would be costly. And you can watch World Cup HD all in its glory while answering nature call.

Buy slingbox.

Don't need to change the cablelah. I test with my old dish and cable and it still works. No problemo.

Component can support high res (up till 1080i if I'm not mistaken) but astro box will output 576i only so better use HDMI to component and you get the about the same as HD.

Congrat. Now u know what I see. So anybody who still decide whether want to subscribe or not, subscribe fast or you'll be in a vely vely long waiting list.

Router? Anybody can answer this? I don't know how.

Added on December 14, 2009, 7:41 pmIts not easy woo to change all the cable and splitter. U'll need a new switch to split all the signal. The higher the building and the more unit in it the longer it take for upgrade. You are lucky if they manage to install it in 18 month.

Start the petition, get all owner to sign and give it to management. Don't forget petition Astro too to upgrade ur building first.

For those who apply through email or website, it is better to call them directly as the mail system will be swamped. Ask to confirm right that time.

Got pillarbox but can be stretched

If it is too long, installer may charge u.

Ur current HD cost is in the package oredi. The rm20 is for the box.

IPTV next. No more rain fade

To improve they will have to broadcast in C-Band. And you will have to install 2m+ dish. Imagine that. Ku-band sit on high frequency that y easier to be absorbed. It is like AM and FM. AM signal is stronger because it has long wavelength.

Nah, Myth. Can't see what it will improve. Do otherwise as the plastic reflect it aside.

U screamyx!!!

Siriusly Bro u need to read. Panas.

Nah, they just want to annoy u. Give IC number oso can.
