QUOTE(prasys @ Dec 23 2009, 01:34 PM) Just got it installed today. The installer guy was kinda nice he sticked his contact number in my setup box. Pretty neat eh. I'll upload the pictures later. So finally I got mine installed Today post up some screenies for the aw factorSD channels - they still suck HD channels - can't really notice the difference between 1080i output/720p output. Currently I am using 720p (recommended for HD Ready TVs) and 1080i (for full HD TVs). As its able to de interlace properly. The PQ looks superb. I've to admit , I am stunned The setup box is pretty small compared to my old Nokia. They did change the wire even though its the same type. If anyone wants to know how I got it installed (registered on 12th , 13th first call and 14th the second and today 23rd I got it installed) |

QUOTE(cycloneopp @ Dec 23 2009, 04:53 PM) You do not need a new cable, the existing Astro cable will do. Anyway you won’t be able to use the old dish, since HD channels uses Horizontal polarizations, which the old dish only support Vertical polarizations. gr8 info mateMy home cable is concealed as well, as long as your cable is good quality coaxial cable, no problem.  The new Astro dish comes with universal LNB (both Vertical and Horizontal) HD Channels: Horizontal SD Channels: Vertical Hope this helps. |
